"The embodiment of the splendor of Gothic art can be seen in the magnificent cathedrals of Notre Dame, Chartres, Rouen, Salisbury and Lincoln (among others) and in the sculpture with which these buildings were adorned. But between 1140 and 1400 a vast quantity of very fine paintings, stained glass, manuscript illuminations, metal-work and tapestries were also produced. Andrew Martindale writes of all these great achievements in one of the best available concise surveys of this creative period of Western art."--Back Cover.
