The Art of the Middle Ages

Is the history of art, written almost one and a half centuries ago, interesting to the modern person? Will a publisher succeed today by offering readers this book? Yes, if the author is P. P. Gnedich, the author of "A Universal History of Art." Read the text on any page, look closely at the restored engravings, and admit: it could not be said better about art. The book does not contain a boring list of artifacts with descriptions of their stylistic features. There is no strict chronology in the book. However, it features the author's passionate narrative about the subject of research, a love for its details, perfect mastery of the rhythm of storytelling, and skillful use of visual elements. Once acquainted with P. P. Gnedich's work, the reader will forever remain infected by art; according to modern publishers, this is one of the beautiful infections.
