This book was released on 2018 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Case for the Middle Ages: The Public Display of Medieval Church Art in Sweden 1847?1943' explores the collecting and exhibiting of medieval church art at Swedish museums over a period of one hundred years. The Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm (today?s Historical Museum) is the main object of study. During the century covered by the study, the museum moved twice to new premises, each relocation bringing about new arrangements of the collections. The reader is taken on imaginary tours through the halls and galleries of the museum in its successive stages of development, thus tracing the ideas and ideologies behind the physical installations and the choices of which artefacts to highlight ? and how. In order to broaden the scope of investigation, temporary exhibitions and the installation of church halls at regional museums across the country are reviewed. The book reveals how the displays formed part of, and formed, the paradigms that determined the contemporary understanding of the artefacts and their role in the narration of the cultural history of the nation.

Download or read book Medieval Art written by Veronica Sekules and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-26 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This refreshing new look at Medieval art conveys a very real sense of the impact of art on everyday life in Europe from 1000 to 1500. It examines the importance of art in the expression and spread of knowledge and ideas, including notions of the heroism and justice of war, and the dominant view of Christianity. Taking its starting point from issues of contemporary relevance, such as the environment, the identity of the artist, and the position of women, the book also highlights the attitudes and events specific to the sophisticated visual culture of the Middle Ages, and goes on to link this period to the Renaissance. The fascinating question of whether commercial and social activities between countries encouraged similar artistic taste and patronage, or contributed to the defining of cultural difference in Europe, is fully explored.

Download or read book Medieval Warfare written by Maurice Keen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1999-08-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book explores over seven hundred years of European warfare, from the time of Charlemagne to the end of the middle ages (c.1500). The period covered has a distinctive character in military history. It was an age when organization for war was integral to social structure, when the secular aristocrat was by necessity also a warrior, and whose culture was profoundly influenced by martial ideas. Twelve scholars, experts in their own fields, have contributed to this finely illustrated book. It is divided into two parts. Part I seeks to explore the experience of war viewed chronologically with separate chapters on, for instance, the Viking age, on the wars and expansion of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, on the Crusades and on the great Hundred Years War between England and France. The chapters in Part II trace thematically the principal developments in the art of warfare; in fortification and siege craft; in the role of armoured cavalrymen; in the employment of mercenary forces; the advent of gunpowder artillery; and of new skills in navigation and shipbuilding. In both parts of the book, the overall aim has been to offer the general reader an impression, not just of the where and the when of great confrontations, but above all of the social experience of warfare in the middle ages, and of the impact of its demands on human resources and human endurance.
