Reviews:
Here is a wonderful book that both inspires and educates. A huge volume covering the Gothic movement in art from the 12th century to the Renaissance, it focuses largely on the development of Gothic architecture, resplendent in well-placed illustrations and photographs that evoke the grandeur of the period. Smaller sections follow on sculpture, painting, stained glass, and gold work. The text is clear and organized, with each chapter authored by German writers and art experts; the translation from German may account for some small editorial errors. Michael Camille's Gothic Art: Glorious Visions (LJ 11/1/96) is perhaps a more general, popular introduction to the topic, but this book is a major text on Gothic art. Highly recommended for academic libraries and larger public libraries.AKaren Ellis, Baldwin Boettcher Lib., Humble, TX

NOTE ON POSTAGE: THIS IS A HEAVY COFFEE-TABLED SIZE BOOK AND AN ADDITIONAL FEE FOR POSTAGE WILL BE UNAVOIDALBE DUE TO THE SHEER WEIGHT. PLEASE CONTACT FOR DETAILS. Synopsis: Courtly splendour and bourgeois pride, religious fanaticism and ascetic seclusion from the world, the search for intimacy: all are mirrored in the art of the Gothic period. Gothic monuments bear witness to a dynamic age, when old values were being redefined, often with great drama and debate. Here is a richly-illustrated overview of the period's architecture, sculpture, painting, stained glass, and jewellery, from its 12th-century French origins to its early 16th-century conclusion. Beautifully illustrated and detailed. Translated from the original German. Seller Inventory # ABE-1627716997900
