This remarkable text is broad in scope, providing a magnificent overview of medieval painting, sculpture, and architecture-in Italy, Byzantium, Germany, and France from the 4th to the 14th centuries-including Early Christian, Byzantine, Pre-Romanesque Hiberno-Saxon, Carolingian, Ottonian, Romanesque, and Gothic art. It explores familiar masterpieces such as the Bayeux Tapestry, the Book of Kells, Giotto's frescoes, and many less familiar treasures.
