L'arte del Medioevo

Curator: Julius Von Schlosser

Publisher: Einaudi

Language: Italian

Description:Appeared in 1923, "The art of the Middle Ages" is a classic of the artistic historiography of our century, and a fundamental text for the understanding of the Middle Ages. For Schlosser it is not enough to accept and admire the complex world of the forms of the Middle Ages: it is necessary to understand its spirit and ways, isolating its typical and peculiar attitudes. Hence the analysis and interpretative suggestions on what landscape or portrait means in the Middle Ages, on the attitude of the artist.
