A detailed look at the construction and restoration of almost 300 medieval sculptures of Wells Cathedral. The text provides a clear picture of how the facade was constructed and how it looked when the medieval paint was still fresh and describes how and when repairs were made over its 700-year history.
This volume offers unparalleled coverage of all aspects of art and architecture from medieval Western Europe, from the 6th century to the early 16th century. Drawing upon the expansive scholarship in the celebrated 'Grove Dictionary of Art' and adding hundreds of new entries, it offers students, researchers and the general public a reliable, up-to-date, and convenient resource covering this field of major importance in the development of Western history and international art and architecture.
This interdisciplinary study interprets the façade of Wells Cathedral as an integral part of thirteenth-century Church liturgy and politics. The façade promoted the aims of the church of Wells, the Fourth Lateran Council, and the English Church and State following Magna Carta.
In the 1990s alone, more than 400 works on angels were published, adding to an already burgeoning genre. Throughout the centuries angels have been featured in, among others, theological works on scripture; studies in comparative religions; works on art, architecture and music; philological studies; philosophical, sociological, anthropological, archeological and psychological works; and even a psychoanalytical study of the implications that our understanding of angels has for our understanding of sexual differences. This bibliography lists 4,355 works alphabetically by author. Each entry contains a source for the reference, often a Library of Congress call number followed by the name of a university that holds the work. More than 750 of the entries are annotated. Extensive indexes to names, subjects and centuries provide further utility.
