The Gothic Stained Glass of Reims Cathedral, Hardback Book

The Gothic Stained Glass of Reims Cathedral Hardback

Hardback

Description

Dubbed the Cathedral of France and first church of French Christendom, the Gothic cathedral of Reims was the coronation site of more than two dozen French kings-and a target of German bombardment in World War I.

Before 1914 its medieval stained glass had enjoyed the fame of Chartres and Bourges.

The first extensive study focusing on the stained glass of this preeminent cathedral, The Gothic Stained Glass of Reims Cathedral offers a groundbreaking analysis of its glazing program.

Through unique insights into the clerical agenda and its influence over a building devoted to the coronation of the French monarchy, Lillich considers the stained glass in the context of building chronology, political events, and artistic movements to present a completely new understanding of the stained glass of Reims.
