Description
Medieval wall paintings are often reduced to mere shadows of their former glory, surviving only in fragments amidst the whitewashed walls of English parish churches. However, these remnants provide a glimpse into the vibrant world of medieval art, which played a significant role in religious and daily life. Roger Rosewell's guide explores the various functions of medieval wall paintings, from their use as religious works to their role in commemorating important events. Beautiful color photography throughout the book brings these artworks to life, offering a unique insight into the stories behind them. By examining both religious and domestic wall paintings, Rosewell sheds light on the artistic and cultural practices of medieval society, revealing the significance of art in everyday life during this period.
