The Medieval World - The Walters Art Museum

Klappentext A wonderfully written and illustrated introduction to the subject of medieval art and society. "Bursting with large, high-quality color photos, it is so satisfying to hold and peruse that even this reviewer's incurably digital ten-year-old picked it up for a good half-hour browse. In its visual appeal, its accessible essays, and its broad ranging subject matter, this book will prove attractive to readers already interested in medieval culture generally as well as to those concerned with the Walters Art Museum as an institution. It also bids fair to attract its share of converts to medievalism" Pamela A. Patton, "The Medieval Review""A finely illustrated general guide written in a narrative style giving just enough context for the reader to understand and appreciate the works of art before him. For the more knowledgeable reader, an annotated checklist gives full entries for each item (including provenance) and bibliographic listings for further study" Eleanor Robbins, "Cassone"
