The St. Albans Psalter: Painting and Prayer in Medieval England
ISBN: 9781606061459 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Although most twelfth-century prayer books were not illustrated, the St. Albans Psalter includes more than 40 fullpage illuminations and over...The St. Albans Psalter is one of the most important, famous, and puzzling books produced in twelfth-century England.

Ottonian Imperial Art and Portraiture: The Artistic Patronage of Otto III and Henry II
ISBN: 9780754669685 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ottonian Imperial Art and Portraiture represents the first art historical consideration of the patronage of the Ottonian Emperors Otto III (983-1002) and Henry II (1002-1024). Author Eliza Garrison analyzes liturgical artworks created for both rulers with the larger goal of addressing the ways in which individual art objects and the collections to which they belonged were perceived as elements of a material historical narrative and as portraits. Since these objects and images had the capacity to stand in for the ruler in his physical absence, she argues, they also performed political...

Medieval Wall Paintings in English & Welsh Churches
ISBN: 9781843834847 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Highly Commended in the Best Archaeological Book category of the 2008 British Archaeological Awards.

They were also monumental, often larger than life-size images for public audiences. Notwithstanding their dissimilarity from other religious art, wall paintings were also an integral part of church interiors, enhancing...
