Instead of treating early Christian art in the late Roman tradition and the arts of the newly established kingdoms of northern Europe as opposites, he adopts a more holistic view, treating them as different aspects of a larger historical situation. This approach reveals the onset of an exciting new visual relationship between the church and the populace throughout medieval Europe. Moreover, it restores a previously marginalized subject to a central status in our artistic and cultural heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Nees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192842439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192842435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Lawrence Nees","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995498643711,"sku":"9780192842435","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_976b2559-f31c-43ab-adaf-06b374d132f6.jpg?v=1683336159","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-medieval-art-lawrence-nees-9780192842435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
