quality. Indeed, the well-preserved sculptural passages provide a key to the Early Gothic style as well as revealing the distinct imprints of three artists and their influences on each other. Blum's penetrating analyses of the restorative techniques and materials are accompanied by telling photograph-diagrams that distinguish the original work from that done later.
Pamela Blum's investigation has relevance not only for students and scholars of medieval art but for curators and collectors as well. Anyone concerned with survivals from the past will appreciate her scrupulous detection in studying one of France's greatest monuments.

4.0 out of 5 stars My thoughts - informative but very detailed!, August 16, 2000
By 
This review is from: Early Gothic Saint-Denis: Restorations and Survivals (Paperback)
The downward spiral of St. Denis, from Sugars unestimatable splendors to a vandalized grainery left unstable and uninhabitable. Nineteenth century restorations under Francois Debrets shows a callous ineptitude one can only wonder at.

Blum toothbrushes her way through the grime offering a meticuliously studied topography of the western central portal sculptures and revealing original twelfth century work untouched by restorers chisels I thought the book was informative but tedious.
