Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A pretty little hardback with nice shiny paper. Excellent quality reproductions of illuminations in EXTREME CLOSE-UP. Fine. Unfortunately they’re accompanied by the most inane commentary I’ve ever come across. No better than click-bait. Good as a stocking-filler for those who don’t like satsumas. ( )
Notable Lists
From satyrs and sea creatures to griffins and dragons, monsters lay at the heart of the medieval world. Believed to dwell in exotic, remote areas, these inexplicable parts of God's creation aroused fear, curiosity, and wonder in equal measure. Powerfully captured in the illustrations of manuscripts, such as bestiaries, travel books, and devotional works, they continue to delight audiences today with their vitality and humor. Medieval Monsters shows how strange creatures sparked artists' imaginations to remarkable heights. Half-human hybrids of land and sea mingle with bewitching demons, blemmyae, cyclops, and multi-headed beasts of nightmare and comic grotesques. Over 100 wondrous and terrifying images offer a fascinating insight into the medieval mind. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
