ROMANESQUE ART IN FRANCE - Lot 189
ROMANESQUE ART IN FRANCE No place, no date [circa 1930–1940]. In-4°, cream-colored soft publisher’s board, title *L’Art Roman* printed in brown on the front cover. The volume is lavishly illustrated with black-and-white photographs, often full-page, featuring the major monuments of French Romanesque art. An educational album presenting Romanesque architecture and sculpture through their major regional centers. The illustrations feature, in particular, Saint-Michel-de-l’Aiguilhe in Le Puy-en-Velay, Saint-Nectaire, Orcival, Saint-Gilles, the cloister at Fréjus, and Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, as well as numerous details of capitals, portals, and sculptures. The book explores the evolution of religious architecture, monumental decoration, and the various regional schools of the Romanesque period. The layout, which is particularly distinctive, combines text, large photographs, and captions set directly around the illustrations. This copy contains a few old handwritten annotations in pencil and blue ink in the margins, which do not significantly interfere with reading. Condition: slightly soiled and yellowed cardboard cover, with minor signs of wear and rubbing; interior in satisfactory condition, with a few marginal annotations. Overall, the book is in solid condition.
