Across the nine thematic chapters of Experiencing Medieval Art,
renowned art historian Herbert L. Kessler considers functional
objects as well as paintings and sculptures; the circumstances,
processes, and materials of production; the conflictual
relationship between art objects and notions of an ineffable deity;
the context surrounding medieval art; and questions of
apprehension, aesthetics, and modern presentation. He also
introduces the exciting discoveries and revelations that have
revolutionized contemporary understanding of medieval art and
identifies the vexing challenges that still remain. With 16 color
plates and 81 images in all-including the stained glass of Chartres
Cathedral, the mosaics of San Marco, and the Utrecht Psalter, as
well as newly discovered works such as the frescoes in Rome's aula
gotica and a twelfth-century aquamanile in Hildesheim-Experiencing
Medieval Art makes the complex history of medieval art accessible
for students of art history and scholars of medieval history,
theology, and literature.
