Krátky popis
A glorious illustrated history of sixteen of the world's greatest
cathedrals, interwoven with the extraordinary stories of the people
who built them. The emergence of the Gothic in twelfth-century
France, an architectural style characterized by pointed arches, rib
vaults, flying buttresses, large windows and elaborate tracery,
triggered an explosion of cathedral-building across western Europe.
It is this remarkable flowering of ecclesiastical architecture that
forms the central core of Emma Wells's authoritative but accessible
study of the golden age of the cathedral.Prefacing her account with
the construction in the sixth century of the Hagia Sophia, the
remarkable Christian cathedral of the eastern Roman empire, she
goes on to chart the construction of a glittering sequence of
iconic structures, including Saint-Denis, Notre-Dame, Canterbury,
Chartres, Salisbury, York Minster and Florence's Duomo. More than
architectural biographies, these are human stories of triumph and
tragedy that take the reader from the chaotic atmosphere of the
mason's yard to the cloisters of power. Together, they reveal how
1000 years of cathedral-building shaped modern Europe, and
influenced art, culture and society around the world.
