I bought this book because it was recommended by my teacher in a class on the Picts. Its main focus is carved stones, I suppose because relatively little good metalwork survives from this culture. There are any good photos of the carved stones, though they are rather drab grays, not as colorful as your average art book. The PIctish stonework is famous and the meaning of its designs is much debated, ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Drawing on their extensive research and expertise, renowned historians George and Isabel Henderson illuminate one of the great enigmas of medieval art: the unique metalwork and sculpture of the Picts. Tribal Celtic-speaking warriors and farmers in what is now Scotland, the Picts were one of the major peoples of early medieval Britain, but their culture and their beautiful art have puzzled historians for centuries.George and Isabel Henderson's acute analysis reveals an art form that both interacted with the currents of "Insular" art and was produced by a sophisticated society capable of sustaining large-scale art programs. The illustrations include specially commissioned drawings that help one understand the mysterious symbols found in the art. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
