This publication brings together nearly thirty masterpieces made across western Europe between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, a period spanning the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They represent some of the finest examples of sculpture, metalwork, painting, and stained glass from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and are among the finest Medieval works of art to be found in private hands. In Gothic Spirit, the artworks are presented in a contemporary context for the first time, and together they offer startling insight into the medieval period’s rich artistic achievements.
