Romanesque by George Zarnecki

This study is part of a series which, after describing the social, political, religious and intellectual climate in which the visual arts developed in a particular period, traces the genesis and attainments of the painting, sculpture, architecture and luxury arts of the period, the features that distinguish its style and the artists who practised it. This volume discusses the genesis of Romanesque art, its development, the features that distinguish it from other styles and its achievements in architecture, metalwork and book illustration as well as its ivories, stained glass and paintings. He also sets the works of art against the political conditions of the times. The Romanesque world stretched from Scandanavia and Iceland to Sicily from the Atlantic to the Vistula and Transylvania and for a time in the 12th and 13th centuries to the Latin Kingdoms of Asia Minor and Syria.
