A window provides access to two of life's essentials, light and
air, but it is more than just a means to an end. Windows also have
symbolic, expressive and architectural qualities that have for
centuries inspired some of the world's greatest artists. In this
engaging new study, Christopher Masters celebrates the multiple
roles of the window in art through five key themes, from the window
as a status symbol to its use as a provider of physical and
spiritual illumination; from its employment as a literal window on
the world outside the confines of a room to its function as a
mirror, reflecting the emotions of the artist or the individuals
depicted; and finally to the immense architectural variety of
windows that animate interior and exterior scenes throughout
Western painting. With superb reproductions of 90 works by major
artists from Giotto to Banksy, and spirited analysis of the
paintings' meanings, this is a remarkable exploration of an
important but hitherto neglected subject in art history.
