MEDIEVAL ART - VERONICA SEKULES KARTONIERT (TB)

This refreshing new look at Medieval art conveys a very real sense of the impact of art on
everyday life in Europe from 1000 to 1500. It examines the importance of art in the expression
and spread of knowledge and ideas  including notions of the heroism and justice of war  and the
dominant view of Christianity. Taking its starting point from issues of contemporary relevance
such as the environment  the identity of the artist  and the position of women  the book also
highlights the attitudes and events specific to the sophisticated visual culture of the Middle
Ages  and goes on to link this period to the Renaissance. The fascinating question of whether
commercial and social activities between countries encouraged similar artistic taste and
patronage  or contributed to the defining of cultural difference in Europe  is fully explored.
