Description: This is the first full-length, English-language study of eleventh-century figural sculpture produced in Dalmatia and Croatia. Challenging the dependency on stylistic analysis in previous scholarship, Magdalena Skoblar contextualises the visual presence of these relief carvings in their local communities, focusing on five critical sites.
Review Quotes:
"The text is nicely written and supplemented with relevant black-and-white images and an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources. The book thus makes accessible to a wider audience the visual material and also existing scholarship, most of which circulates in non-Western European languages. Finally, the case study approach offers a model that could be emulated in future investigations of little-known works, sites, and cultures."
