Synopsis

It covers the Western canon, and also extends to popular imagery and non-Western traditions. This title looks at Romanesque art.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For college art history survey courses that focus on the Romanesque period. It may also appeal to the general reader interested in the period.

Presents the Romanesque period, from 1050 to 1200 A.D., through an entirely new approach; including discussions of issues important to the period. Among these are society, the role of women, patronage, and the development of institutions such as the monastery and the university. This approach serves to enliven a period in art and culture that had been previously burdened by reference as “the Dark Ages.”
