About this Item
32 cm ca 100 seiten. leineneinband mit OU. und einem einfachen pappschuber; guter zustand, ou mit läsuren, schuber an den kanten bestoßen. (BK1142). there was a time, prior to the Renaissance, when almost the entire artistic genius of Europe found its outlet in the portrayal of religious subjects. Of these subjects, the one most dear to the hearts of ordinary people was the mother-and-child theme of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus.It was inevitable, then, that among the finest achievements of the period when mediaeval wood-carving was at its height should be treatments of the Madonna and Child. Artists known and unknown lavished their skill on it; in ornate cathedral and humble parish church alike they depicted Our Lady and her son in a manner typical of the period?with everyday realism rather than awe-inspiring grandeur.In many parts of Europe subsequent religious conflicts resulted in the loss of many of the finest of these statues; but in a quiet, secluded region that now forms part of Czechoslovakia, many survived and have been lovingly preserved into the twentieth century. The photographs in this book are of such survivals. Taken with a sensitivity and skill which make them works of art in themselves, they capture for us the delicacy and grace of masterpieces which were once a few among many, but today represent unique creations of a long-lost age. There are 31 illustrations, of which 6 are in colour, each of them showing a masterpiece. Auszüge aus dem Buch 970 Gramm. Seller Inventory # 12752
