Product Description

Product Description

The Romanesque was the first epoch of medieval art that encompassed all of Europe. Its origins hearken back to characteristic elements of Roman construction - reflected in the name of the period - and in the course of the High Middle Ages developed into the embodiment of Christian sacred art. Architecture, painting and sculpture were permeated with the Christian worldview and the spirit of the religion. The book at hand helps us understand and even experience this tight integration and masterfully explains the manifold aspects of Romanesque artistic composition, in which the hopes and fears of the people of the time found their expression.


About the Author

For this work, editor Rolf Toman gathered contributions from nine renowned authors with profound expertise in the fields of architecture and art history whose competent knowledge clearly elucidates the art of the Romanesque period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible photos-reliable source of art history information, 14 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Romanesque Art (Hardcover)
Apart from the incredibly beautiful, clearly taken photos, the history summary is very concise and organised. The art history commentaries are extreamly detailed, so one cannot consider it just another reference book is their bookcase. It's much more. Every school (French, German) is taken and analised by itself. The book starts with a presentation of style in architecture which is welcomed because it gives a poit from where to start for one who's not a specialist. The book gives special attention to architecture, which is normal for a period when this was the most important art and all others where only decorations for it, but also gives a clear, beutifully illustrated image of arts and crafts. About the sculpture chapter I may say I've never seen it treated more beautifully in any other book. I loved it, and although I found sometimes the texts too heavy I stayed lots of evenings with the book on my knees (it's a very heavy book).

5.0 out of 5 stars Ravishing, 17 Sep 2009
I have this volume and the similar edition on Gothic art & architecture. The book is, as previous reviewer stated, extremely well organised and there is an absolutely daunting amount of information.
I would particularly like to point out that while the volume on Gothic inevitably enchants with the glorious photographs, this volume positively causes heart ache in the nicest possible way. Maybe it is my infatuation with Romanesque, but there is something about these buildings and sculptures that demands a very particular photographic treatment, especially when it comes to lighting and tonality... and this book is simply superb, the texture of the stonework, the ambience of the buildings and warm tones of the old carvings and statues is perfectly captured here.
