Medieval and Early Modern Art in Central Europe - Deluga Rewiková

Medieval and Early Modern Art in Central Europe is a collection

of essays that grew out of the papers presented at a thematic conference

in Nowy Sącz, Poland, in 2017. The volume unites scholars from the Czech

Republic, Great Britain, Poland, Ukraine and the United States. The

introduction, by the editors Waldemar Deluga and Daniela Rywiková,

outlines the rationale behind the joint publication that represents a cross-

section of the most recent Central European scholarship in a French-

English language volume. The book covers the issues of me-dieval and

early renaissance book illumination, the art related to female monasteries, and tran-sitions

from the Gothic to Renaissance in iconography, architecture and style of manuscript

miniatures. In the last part, there are reflections on the art of national minorities in the

former Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and two articles discussing the

icono-graphy of Eastern Christian art in Ukraine.
