Description
Romantic love is as old as time, but many of the symbols of love that we enjoy and use today - hearts and flowers, sentimental gifts and poems - were born in the medieval era, the age of chivalry. Here you can discover that courtly world through its exquisite paintings and illuminations, richly hued tapestries, and gilded jewels. The Medieval Art of Love is a delightful guide through the delicate expression of affection and passion that is the hallmark of the Middle Ages. A book to charm and intrigue every lover, this volume is also a thoughtful examination of the symbolism of love in medieval European art. Michael Camille explores the metaphoric and social settings of love and its myths and paradoxes.
