Romanesque: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting

Edited by Rolf Toman 

The Romanesque was the first period in medieval art that encompassed all of
Europe. Its origins date back to the characteristic elements of Roman
construction, and through the course of the Middle Ages the Romanesque
developed into the embodiment of Christian sacred art. The impressive
photographs and absorbing text in this volume convey the special atmosphere
that characterizes the Romanesque churches and monasteries. In addition to
the detailed chapters on forms and techniques, studies of particular
countries illustrate the variety of Romanesque art.

This volume focuses on Shakespeare as an extraordinarily talented theater
professional rather than rhapsodizing about the intricacies of the man's

occurred during the missing years.
