The art historian and the object.
What kind of language do they use to decribe what they see? How do they construct arguments using visual evidence? What sort of arguments do they make? In this usual anthology, eighteen prominent art historians specializing in the medieval field (European, Byzantine, and Islamic) provide answers to these fundamental questions, not directly but by way of example. Each author, responding to invitation, has chosen for study a single image or object and has submitted it to sustained analysis. The collection of essays, accompained by statements on methodology by the editors, offers and accesible introduction to current art-historical practice.
