Reading Gothic Architecture English: 1 (Studies in the Visual Cultures of the Middle Ages) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The question of how architecture was read by those viewing it has, in recent years come to the forefront of research, encompassing a range of interpretive strategies. Here contributors look at Gothic architecture, aiming to widen the field of study as well as examine the ways in which the architecture was read. Essays thus do not primarily focus on France, but take in countries normally thought to be on the periphery of what was 'Gothic', such as Italy, Poland and Ireland. In addition they take the subject much further than the heyday of Gothic in the twelfth century, showing the continued vibrancy of Gothic architecture during the classical revival of the renaissance.
