PICTORIAL NARRATIVE IN THE ROMANESQUE CLOISTER ...

Praised as paradisiacal or denounced as impious fantasy  the sculpture of Romanesque cloisters
played a powerful role in medieval monastic life. This book demonstrates how sculpture in the
cloister  the physical and spiritual heart of the religious foundation  could be shrewdly
configured to articulate the most influential ideals and experiences of its individual
community. Taking as its focus the visually rich  highly organized narrative programs of three
twelfth-century Spanish cloisters  this book reveals the power of such imagery to reflect and
reinforce the social and spiritual preoccupations of its age.
