Description
This beautiful book accompanies an exhibition of around 35 of the major masterpieces from the V&A's outstanding holdings of European art from the period 300-1600 CE. It includes superb examples of sculpture, metalwork, ceramics and glass, which will be part of a touring exhibition, before being redisplayed in magnificent new galleries opening in November 2009. This book offers a unique opportunity to set in context such exceptional works as the enamelled Becket Casket, the ivory Crucified Christ by Giovanni Pisano, Donatello's bronze fountain figure of a Winged Putto with a Fish, and bronzes by Antico and Hubert Gerhard.
