Description

'Larousse Encyclopedia of Byzantine and Medieval Art', edited by René Huyghe, is a richly illustrated reference work covering Christian, Byzantine and medieval art from the early centuries of Christianity through the Romanesque and Gothic periods. The book examines painting, sculpture, architecture, mosaics, manuscripts, decorative arts and religious imagery, while also considering the cultural influences that shaped medieval artistic traditions across Europe and the Mediterranean. Its 36 articles and historical summaries include material on regions beyond Europe, including Ethiopia, Persia and the Far East. First published in English in 1963, the volume forms part of the 'Art and Mankind' series and provides a broad visual and historical survey of medieval art.
