Publisher's summary : The Medieval World presents some of the most important aspects of medieval art, through nearly 150 objects from one of the richest collections of medieval art in the United States, the Walters Art Museum. It features superb examples of sculpture and carvings, metal and enamel work, stained glass, jewellery and illuminated manuscripts, ranging in date from the Romanesque and early Byzantine period to the late Gothic and early Renaissance period. Divided into thematic chapters, such as the classical tradition and artistic process in the Middle Ages, the church as a heavenly space, saints and relics, and earthly possessions, each of these is generously illustrated with artworks, special feature boxes, and details. A wonderfully written and illustrated introduction to the subject of Medieval art and society, The Medieval World also features an extensive checklist, bibliography and index. ( )
