Romanesque and Gothic France
written by Viviane Minne-Saeve, with Hervbe Kergall

This superbly illustrated book is the only one of its kind to trace the history of Romanesque and Gothic architecture and sculpture in all of France, focusing especially on the exalted ecclesiastical structures -- and the splendid sculpture, painting, illuminated manuscripts, and stained glass made for these churches, monasteries, abbeys, and cathedrals -- created by inspired "builders for God".

Touring France province by province, the authors discuss the landmarks of the period, such as NotreDame, Cluny, and the Cathedral of Chartres, all of which reflect the religious intensity of the medieval world. Whether exploring the religious history of Catholic France, the historical development of Romanesque and Gothic styles, or the lives and works of the builders and artists who sought to glorify God, this lavishly illustrated, carefully researched book is invaluable for scholars yet accessible for the general reader.
