Text: English (translation)
Original Language: French
Companion to two previous volumes covering the 15th century to the present (Bernard Ceysson et al.'s Sculpture: The Great Tradition of Sculpture from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Century , LJ 3/15/88; Anne Pingeot et al.'s Sculpture: The Adventure of Modern Sculpture in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries , Skira/Rizzoli, 1986) and a forthcoming volume on sculpture in antiquity (which will contain the bibliography and index for all four volumes), this is a sumptuous survey of late antique, Romanesque, and Gothic sculpture. The rather romantic text is geographically arranged in small blocks with a detailed contents page that almost compensates for the forthcoming index; most areas or monuments discussed get three or four pages including illustrations. The numerous color illustrations are on the harsh side, the black and whites vary, and no sizes are given for the works of art. Still, a useful and accessible book for the novice or general reader.
