Bücher von Leslie D. Ross

Leslie Ross examines the identities of artists attributed to the most famous and influential works of medieval art. In ten narrative chapters, Ross examines architecture, iconography, metalwork, scribework, sculpture - even medieval art instruction) and summarizes the lives and work of the artists.

Designed as a quick-reference source to the topics, symbols, themes, and stories most frequently found in early Christian, western medieval, and Byzantine art, this work describes topics that include names and narratives drawn from the Bible and apocrypha, the lives of saints, and numerous other textual sources.

Ross provides a broad survey of pictures and texts concerning saints, from the Early Christian through the late Gothic period. Because of its cross-disciplinary nature, it will be of interest to audiences interested in Early Christian, Byzantine, and Western medieval culture: religion, society, politics, and art.
