Image and Altar 800-1300: Papers from an International Conference in Copenhagen 24 October-27 October

A technical book for art historians and advanced students, this anthology of conference papers is lavishly produced and illustrated in black and white and color. It deals with the pictorial decoration of Christian altars. The specific topic is the relationship between art images (two- and three-dimensional) and altars in Europe in the Early and High Middle Ages. While the largest single focus is on Scandinavia, altars from across Europe are discussed and photographed. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
