摘要:This sumptuous book offers a full account of the origins and development of twenty-two of the most outstanding carved altarpieces from churches in Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic. The colour plates, specially commissioned for this book, capture the stunning details of these sculptures - riotous locks of hair, swirling fabric, thickets of twisted vine - and reveal the consummate skill of the master artisans who created them.
