This book presents the first full length study in English of
monumental bronzes in the Middle Ages. Taking as its point of
departure the common medieval reception of bronze sculpture as
living or animated, the study closely analyzes the practice of lost
wax casting (cire perdue) in western Europe and explores the
cultural responses to large scale bronzes in the Middle Ages.
Starting with mining, smelting, and the production of alloys, and
ending with automata, water clocks and fountains, the book uncovers
networks of meaning around which bronze sculptures were produced
and consumed. The book is a path-breaking contribution to the study
of metalwork in the Middle Ages and to the re-evaluation of
medieval art more broadly, presenting an understudied body of work
to reconsider what the materials and techniques embodied in public
monuments meant to the medieval spectator.
