Renaissance Gothic: Architecture and the Arts in Northern Europe, 1470-1540

Autor Ethan Matt Kavaler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 ian 2012
This compelling book offers a new paradigm for the periodization of the arts, one that counters a prevailing Italianate bias among historians of northern Europe of this era. The years after 1500 brought the construction of several iconic Late Gothic monuments, including the transept facades of Beauvais cathedral in northern France, much of King's College in Cambridge, England, and the parish church at Annaberg in Saxony. Most designers and patrons preferred this elite Gothic style, which was considered fashionable and highly refined, to alternative Italianate styles. Ethan Matt Kavaler connects Gothic architecture to related developments in painting and other media, and considers the consequences of the breakdown of the Gothic system in the early 16th century.
Late Gothic architecture is recognized for its sensuous and abundant ornament. Its visually rich surfaces signify wealth and magnificence, and its flamboyant geometric designs portray a system of perfect and essential forms that convey spiritual authority, while often serving as signs of personal or corporate identity. Renaissance Gothic presents a groundbreaking and detailed study of the Gothic architecture of the late 15th and 16th centuries across Europe.

Recenzii

"As to be expected of Yale and Metropolitan Museum of Art publications, this is a beautifully illustrated book that complements the tapestries that inspired the research. Thomas Campbell and Elizabeth Cleland are to be congratulated on producing a timely and important book that presents new object-based and archival research by the leading tapestry scholars."—Deborah H. Cibelli, Sixteenth Century Journal
