The Cloisters Cross: Its Art and Meaning

Portada
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1994 - 316 páginas
The attribution to the abbey of Bury St. Edmunds - the name by which the cross was first known - is discussed at length. In rich and exacting detail the authors reveal, as do the splendid new color photographs by Malcolm Varon, just how the Cloisters Cross, in its imagery and consummate workmanship, bears "witness to a level of erudition and artistry seldom seen in the twelfth century or later."
