Description

Windows in Art by Christopher Masters explores the multiple roles of windows in art, revealing their symbolic, expressive and architectural qualities. From their use as status symbols to their function as mirrors reflecting emotions, this study celebrates five key themes that have inspired artists throughout history. Superb reproductions of 90 works by major artists from Giotto to Banksy accompany spirited analysis of the paintings' meanings, offering a remarkable exploration of an important but hitherto neglected subject in art history. This engaging new study sheds light on the significance of windows in Western painting, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in art and its many facets.
