Overview
Susan Herbert explores the art of the Middle Ages. She leads us into the magical world of brightly colored illuminations, the romances of medieval chivalry, the sparkling Books of Hours & other devotional volumes. There are courtly scenes of pageantry, of beautifully costumed creatures in a wonderful land of medieval castles & churches, splendid banquets & colorful jousting ceremonies. All based on authentic works from the 13th-16th centuries, these infinitely detailed paintings show us cats in jewel like settings, remote but endearing — a ravishing testimony to a world of long ago. 31 color illustrations.Herbert's previous books have introduced readers to a world of art inhabited entirely by cats, from Egyptian mummies to Impressionist picnickers. Now her beguiling felines capture yet another period of art--the late Middle Ages--in a marvelous new collection for any cat lover or art enthusiast. 32 color illustrations.
