Book Description

Publication Date: July 1995 | ISBN-10: 1859281095 | ISBN-13: 978-1859281093

This is a study of the hidden medieval sculptures of the Romanesque and Gothic periods in France. By analyzing the imagery displayed on carvings, such as those high on the corbels or under the eaves of medieval churches and civic buildings, the author penetrates the "alternative" cultural world of the artist-craftsman and traces developments and themes. The book features detailed descriptive catalogues of individual series of carvings on monuments such as the churches and cathedrals of Aulnay, Cahors, Angers, Poitiers and Metz.
