Significant works of architecture, sculpture, and painting come alive through abundant and carefully chosen illustrations, complemented by concise historical introductions. Numerous plans and sketches, essays treating individual topics at greater length on bronze pages, and an extensive glossary complement the informative and scholarly-based text. Geographically, Romanesque covers the countries France, England, Spain, Italy, and Germany, focusing especially on secular architecture and sculpture as well as frescoes and book illuminations. This work is not only suitable for aficionados and those with extensive and profound knowledge of the period, but is also intended to serve as an introduction for lay people.
