Romanesque Architecture, Sculpture, Painting

The Romanesque period was during the high Middle Ages, and is so called because of its use of that typical classical Roman architectural device - the arch. The text mainly focuses on architecture, starting with building styles, and then each chapter explores different regions across Europe and Scandinavia, showcasing the results. The book features stunning photographs, most of which have been commissioned exclusively for this volume, and the sculpture provides remarkable insight into the lives, hopes, and fears of the times.
