Gothic Spirit cover

This publication brings together 27 works of art made across western Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries, a period spanning the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They represent some of the finest examples of sculpture, metalwork, painting and stained glass still in private hands, and together offer a startling insight into the period’s rich artistic achievements.

"Through its design, organization, and clear yet detailed descriptions of the twenty-seven pieces it showcases, Gothic Spirit not only replicates the contemplative environment of the gallery exhibit it originally accompanied but also provides historical and artistic insights that will appeal to novice and experienced medievalists alike. . . . Although originally published to accompany the exhibit of the same name, Gothic Spirit: Medieval Art from Europe stands alone as an enjoyable, informative book that guides the reader on a journey from art viewer to reader, with Jada Gajdošová and Matthew Reeves’s clear yet detailed descriptions opening up exponentially for further research and learning." * Comitatus *
