Medieval Art

The textbook Medieval Art, 2nd Edition, by Marilyn Stokstad is published by Routledge. The volume instructs readers on how to view medieval art by examining significant features of architecture, sculpture, and painting, explaining why particular artistic forms matter.

The book focuses on the art and building practices of Western Europe from the second through the fifteenth centuries. It explains which qualities of these works are important and explores the reasons behind their prominence across different media.

To assist readers in contextualizing these artistic traditions, the work provides a chronological timeline of Europe in the Middle Ages.
