Are its limited colours used with greater sophistication than viewers have recognised? What do we know of the Tapestry's supporting cast: naked figures in the margins and clerics present at events in the main register? Can we learn anything about the original purpose of the Tapestry from detailed examination of Bayeux Cathedral's 1476 Inventory, the first known reference to the Tapestry's existence? This book combines up-to-the-minute research with an introduction that draws on the contributors' personal observations in order to interrogate the Tapestry's enduring value. Bringing together contributions from leading specialists and newer voices in the field, it will be essential reading for students and scholars of the Bayeux Tapestry, medieval art and culture.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Arts & PhotographyBook Series: Studies in Design and Material CultureItem Width: 21mmItem Weight: 726gAuthor: Anna HendersonRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
