"[This book] is a compact, comprehensive survey of the Romanesque style in Europe, from its first manifestations c. 950 through the thirteenth century. Professor Timmers first traces the Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine origins of Romanesque art and discusses the diverse influences of Islam, the Carolingian Renaissance, the monastic orders of Europe, and the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Viking migrations. Then, in a detailed analysis, he examines the development and varied expressions of Romanesque style and spirit--in architecture, sculpture, painting, and the applied arts--as it spread through Italy, France, Germany, Spain, the British Isles, Scandinavia, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and the Middle East. Each stage of development is magnificently illustrated by maps, diagrams, and photographs in color and black-and-white" --Jacket flap.
