Description

In The Cross, the Gospels, and the Work of Art in the Carolingian Age, Beatrice E. Kitzinger examines the power of representation during the Carolingian period. This scholarly work explores how images were used to demonstrate the value and efficacy of art. By focusing on the cross, the central sign of Christianity, Kitzinger shows how this symbol commemorates sacred history, functions in the present, and prepares for the end of time. While many scholars recognize that visual attributes of the cross communicate theology regarding history and eschatology, Kitzinger provides a new perspective. She argues that early medieval artists developed a specific formal language to express its efficacious power. This book offers a deep look into how art and theology merged to create meaningful visual experiences in the early medieval era.
