The Cloisters: Medieval Art and Architecture (Metropolitan Museum of Art Series)di Peter BarnetIf you're ever in NYC and have the chance to go up to the Cloisters, the Medieval branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I highly recommend it. What a beautiful book! This text "breaks apart" the structure of the Cloisters (tiself assembled in a bit of a hodgepodge), taking individual elements and structures and examining them. As an example of how accurate the descriptions are and how vividly it describes things: a few months after first looking at the book, I read a mystery in which there was a chase scene and a shootout (!) at the Cloisters. Because I had read this book, I was able to follow the *entire* scene and picture each major landmark mentioned. I hadn't been to the Cloisters in 10 years, but the book brought it all back that well! This is more than a coffee table book; it deserves to be studied, not just propped up for looks. If you do get it, read it and do it justice! |
