Read Online Pictorial Narrative in the Romanesque Cloister Cloister Imagery and Religious Life in Medieval Spain Hermeneutics of Art Pamela A Patton Books


Praised as paradisiacal or denounced as impious fantasy, the sculpture of Romanesque cloisters played a powerful role in medieval monastic life. This book demonstrates how sculpture in the cloister, the physical and spiritual heart of the religious foundation, could be shrewdly configured to articulate the most influential ideals and experiences of its individual community. Taking as its focus the visually rich, highly organized narrative programs of three twelfth-century Spanish cloisters, this book reveals the power of such imagery to reflect and reinforce the social and spiritual preoccupations of its age.

Pictorial Narrative in the Romanesque Cloister Cloister Imagery and Religious Life in Medieval Spain Hermeneutics of Art Pamela A Patton Books Reviews
- This book exposed me, in quite dramatic form, to the incredible cloister imagery of Medieval Spain. This is the single finest book, of the genre, that I've ever had the privilege of perusing, and peruse it I most certainly did.
The author's personal journey through the trials and tribulations of a life spent with her older brother Dave speaks volumes about the lengths she must have gone through, and the obstacles she's overcome to publish this masterwork. Kudos! - Beautifully written and photographed. The ultimate guide to Spanish cloister art. Author/Photographer Pamela Patton is a genius, and is not afraid to show the influence of her smarter brother Dave. A must buy for everyones Christmas list!!!!
