Better than being there,
This review is from: The Rose Window (Hardcover)
If you are at all interested in rose windows, this is a must-have book. The photographs are simultaneously artistically moving and technically informative. The author includes historical photos of windows that would be impossible to see today, either because of damage, restoration, or restrictions on visits.I have Painton Cowen's earlier (1970's) book on the same topic, and am delighted to have found this new book, in which he deeply explores the topics he touched on earlier. If I could have only one book about rose windows, this would be it.

Beautlful and Profound Rose Windows,

This review is from: The Rose Window (Hardcover)
Painton Cowen's "The Rose Window" is a profound book that combines art history, mystical Christian thought, great beauty and sublime photographs. It is truly a work of art. It is a survey of rose windows: their origin, history, iconography, geometry and spiritual meaning. You will inevitably come away feeling uplifted and having made a significant discovery in your own inner life. I highly recommend the book in all ways.
