Ravinder S Binning: The Medieval Art of Fear, Gebunden

Klappentext

A bold new approach to medieval art and architecture's shaping of psychosomatic experience. ​
> Moving between early monastic spaces in Egypt and major urban centers like Constantinople from the fourth through the thirteenth centuries, The Medieval Art of Fear shows how the psychosomatic experience of fear became the deliberate object of mystical practices, meditation, and other embodied techniques across the medieval world. The result is a powerful exploration of the aesthetic effects behind some of the medieval world's most ambitious works, whose influence extends well beyond the Middle Ages.
