The Gothic period is one of the first epochs in art history from which artworks of all kinds have been preserved: from cathedrals, castles, and palaces to masterful paintings and the most filigree works of goldsmiths, this volume displays the breadth and richness of a unique craftsmanship. Specific contributions delve into the development of Gothic architecture in France, as well as the national characteristics it took on from Spain and Portugal to northern and Eastern Europe. Entire chapters are devoted to the Papal Palace of Avignon and the splendour of Gothic glass painting. This volume provides an overview of the artistic diversity of the Gothic ? in no small part through the richness of the illustrations ? that could scarcely be more vivid. AUTHOR: For this work, editor Rolf Toman gathered a team of eleven renowned authors with profound expertise in the fields of architecture and art history whose competent knowledge clearly elucidates the art of the Gothic period. SELLING POINTS ? The history of Gothic architecture from its origins and blossoming in 12th-century France through its dissemination in all of Europe ? In-depth discussion of the most diverse art forms, including painting, sculpture, metalwork, and book illumination ? Individual essays on special themes such as heresy of the Cathars, the development of cities or the Papal Palace in Avignon ? Richly illustrated with photographs, most of which were taken specifically for this book ? The awesome diversity of a fascinating epoch of European art and culture is presented in this wide-ranging illustrated volume. Over 700 illustrations
