English Medieval Embroidery: Opus Anglicanum de Clare Browne

English Medieval Embroidery: Opus Anglicanum

Editat de Clare Browne, Glyn Davies, M. A. Michael Contribuţii de Michaela Zoschg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2021
An introduction to the design, production and use of luxury embroideries in medieval England (c. 1200–1530)

In medieval Europe, embroidered textiles were indispensable symbols of wealth and power. Owing to their quality, complexity and magnificence, English embroideries enjoyed international demand and can be traced in Continental sources as opus anglicanum (English work). Essays by leading experts explore the embroideries’ artistic and social context, while catalogue entries examine individual masterpieces. Medieval embroiderers lived in a tightly knit community in London, and many were women who can be identified by name. Comparisons between their work and contemporary painting challenge modern assumptions about the hierarchy of artistic media. Contributors consider an outstanding range of examples, highlighting their craftsmanship and exploring the world in which they were created.

Recenzii

"Superb, razor-sharp reproductions which give a proper sense of the beauty and power of the medium… its intellectual value is undoubted."—Paul Binski, Art Newspaper

“There are over 160 full colour illustrations found herein and a wealth of historical information offered in the essays that accompany each chapter. If you are interested in Opus Anglicanum or the inheritance of medieval English Catholic culture, this is a work you will want to pick up for your collection.”—Shawn Tribe, Liturgical Arts Journal

"You do not need to know a chasuble from a cope to be dazzled by the artistry on display here, photographed in extreme close-ups or unfurled across double-page spreads."—Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, Ornament

“A rich introduction to an extraordinarily complex artistic practice. . . . The production values of [this] catalogue are exemplary.”—Choice
