Это не просто труд о материальных свидетельствах эпохи , но и описание общества того времени через призму культуры.

A high-quality introductory volume to the spectacular achievements of Gothic culture, which not only illustrates the stylistic trademarks and their developments but also offers a radical reappraisal of the standard appreciation of Gothic art, seeing it as a highly innovative art form, encompassing new ways of perceiving the world.

When we look at the soaring spaces of Chartres cathedral or the shimmering pages of a gilded and painted manuscript, we are witnesses to a new kind of vision. In this radical reappraisal of Gothic art in Europe, the word "Gothic" describes not only an art style but a changing concept of space, time, and society - a new kind of perception, both visual and spiritual, in which light is of central importance. Camille shows us how the art of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries was seen in its own time and explores the way vision itself was understood. In this age of glorious painting, magnificent, intricate architecture and sculpture, and jewellike manuscript illumination, art was an expression of religious passion and earthly power, of public and private wealth; of science and learning.
