Book Description: Metropolitan Museum of Art. 1 Cloth(s), 2006. hard. Book Condition: New. Faces in medieval sculpture are explorations of human identity, marked not only by evolving nuances of style but also by the ongoing drama of European history. Many medieval sculpted heads became separated from their settings—often churches or other ecclesiastical monuments—by the seemingly endless destruction and displacement of art works in Europe during and after the Middle Ages. In many cases the artistic or aesthetic merits of a given fragment are all that remain of the original work's context, meaning, and significance. Created from marble, limestone, polychromed wood, and silver gilt, the 81 sculpted heads featured in this volume—illustrated with 87 color photographs and an additional 114 black and white figures—date from the 3rd century AD through the early 16th and represent French, German, Italian, Spanish, Byzantine, English, and other medieval traditions. Each bears eloquent witness to its own history, whether it was removed from its original context for ideological reasons or because of changing tastes. 222. Bookseller Inventory # 00783

New hardcover book in new dust jacket-- book and jacket are still sealed in publisher's original, unopened shrinkwrap; 240 pages; well illustrtaed with 203 photographs and drawings, of which 88 are in color. "The face in medieval sculpture was an exploration in human identity, marked not only by evolving nuances of style but also by the ongoing drama of European history. The 81 magnificent sculpted heads featured in this volume provide a sweeping view of the Middle Ages, from the waning days of the Roman Empire to the dawn of the Renaissance. Each sculpture bears eloquent witness to its own remarkable history, whether it was removed because of changing tastes or for political reasons, such as being cut off the head of a king on a grand cathedral facade. The book is organized into seven thematic sections, including 'Iconoclasm' and 'The Stone Bible', which explore the process of reconnecting these works to their origins using both traditional art historical methods as well as the latest scientific technology. An essay on medieval physiognomy by the distinguished scholar Willibald Sauerländer introduces the volume." (Quoted material from publisher). Bookseller Inventory # 003402
