Architectural sculpture, virtually abandoned for five hundred years
following the demise of the Roman Empire, was revivified on the
portals of Romanesque churches in eleventh and twelfth-century
France and Spain. Long overdue is a reappraisal of those images
whose aesthetic of rendering the invisible visible establish them
as valuable witnesses to the culture of Europe in the Middle Ages.
Countless losses, mutilation through wilful destruction, centuries
of accumulated grime, and a dearth of studies in English have
impeded the deserved realization and appreciation of these
magnificent works of art. Through illustration and illuminative
interpretation, Romanesque Sculpture An Ecstatic Art fills the void
by tracing the beginnings, maturation, and efflorescence of
monumental sculptured facades in the short-lived Romanesque era.
Depictions on them are mirrors of the age: sophisticated
theological messages, monastic life, the cult of relics,
pilgrimages, crusades and politics. The survey considers too the
sculptors, mostly anonymous, who in adapting models from several
media - both antique and current - created a unique visual
vocabulary. The beauty of the sculptures comes to the fore. The
stones live
