Devotion & Splendor: Medieval Art At The Art Institute of Chicago

This publication features over fifty important medieval objects from the Art Institute of Chicago, including works from the early Christian era to the later Middle Ages, produced in Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world. These pieces originally adorned cathedrals, monasteries and chapels as well as courtly settings and homes, and many stand as expressions of religious faith.
A catalogue section combines lavish color reproductions and short entries on a wide variety of works including glassware, carved ivories, illuminated manuscripts, metalwork, panel paintings, and sculpture.
