An exciting new account of Irish high crosses This landmark study
of Irish high crosses focuses on the carvings of an unnamed artist,
the "Muiredach Master," whose monuments-completed in the early
years of the 10th century-deserve a place alongside the Book of
Kells as great works of their time. Drawing on a wealth of recent
research, Roger Stalley describes in vivid detail how the crosses
were made, where they were carved, and how they were lifted into
place. His lively prose situates the works in their context,
identifying patrons and exploring their motives, as well as
venturing to understand what the crosses may have meant to those
who gazed at them a millennium ago. In doing so, Stalley rejects
preconceived notions about the imagery of the crosses, including
the extent to which they were inspired by images from abroad.
