dont mind me lis yritamas oma pildianalyysi teha, AGAA

kurb kurb kurb, et see oli väga reliikviale ja pühapiltidele-skulptuuridele keskendunud
seega nagu lihtsalt keskaja üleyldisesse nö "muuseumikunsti" hea sissejuhatus, aga kui on juba mingid eelteadmised ja spetsiifilisem huvi/ uurimus siis jääb väheseks sellest raamatust :////

peax ss ekspert nyyd olema võiiii

This is a nice introduction to medieval art, with lots of illustrations of art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is an introduction, not a comprehensive survey, with sections on the Hebrew Bible in medieval art; portraits of Mary, the mother of Jesus; the crucifixion; saints; and secular themes. The discussions of individual pieces generally expand upon information that can be found on the Met Museum website. This book allows readers to dip their toes in the subject. If they want to go further, the book includes a page of recommended reading related to medieval art, especially regarding the themes covered in this volume.

A ok book when you are looking for a specific relic or totaly new to the subject.
If you are experienced it is to general to keep you interested.

So good!

An excellent companion to visiting the Met and its terrific Cloisters annex. The illustrations are so good and detailed that in the case of a few items it is easier to examine them on page than by looking at the real thing behind the glass. The emphasis is definitely on the Christian symbology -- not so much on the esthetics and the technique -- but there are plenty of other books that focus on that.

This is a nice coffee table book describing some of the most iconic pieces at the Met and the Cloisters in New York
I’m not sure that the contents of the book match with its title, which is why I’m deducting one star
This is still a very good read, regardless

I didn’t read this book, just marked it for the yearly challenge. The book I read was "The medieval Scandinavian art reader" by Margrethe C. Stang and Laura Tillery🖼️
