Description
This fresh perspective on Medieval art reveals how artistic expression influenced everyday life in Europe from 1000 to 1500. By examining the role of art in spreading knowledge and ideas, including its depiction of war and Christianity, the book explores contemporary issues such as the environment and the artist's identity.
The Middle Ages' sophisticated visual culture is also scrutinised, with a focus on the cultural differences that emerged between countries through commercial and social activities. This period is then linked to the Renaissance, raising questions about the impact of artistic exchange on European culture.
