From Library Journal
Here is a wonderful book that both inspires and educates. A huge
volume covering the Gothic movement in art from the 12th century to
the Renaissance, it focuses largely on the development of Gothic
architecture, resplendent in well-placed illustrations and
photographs that evoke the grandeur of the period. Smaller sections
follow on sculpture, painting, stained glass, and gold work. The
text is clear and organized, with each chapter authored by German
writers and art experts; the translation from German may account
for some small editorial errors. Michael Camille's Gothic Art:
Glorious Visions (LJ 11/1/96) is perhaps a more general, popular
introduction to the topic, but this book is a major text on Gothic
art. Highly recommended for academic libraries and larger public
libraries.AKaren Ellis, Baldwin Boettcher Lib., Humble, TX
