"The historic abbey church of Sainte-Madeleine, or Mary Magdalene, at Vezelay in Burgundy is one of the wonders of medieval art. Begun in 1120 in the Romanesque style, the church is a jewel of early-twelfth-century architecture. But most remarkable of all is Vezelay's sculpture.
The tympana - the massive semicircles of stone that crown the main doors - and the capitals of the columns in the nave, richly carved with figures from the Bible and Christian legend, are among the finest works of sculpture in the world."--BOOK JACKET.
"This superbly illustrated book offers a complete visual record of the architecture and sculpture of Sainte-Madeleine. The photographs are accompanied by an authoritative text that guide the reader through the church, sculpture by sculpture, truly bringing this magnificent place to life."--BOOK JACKET.
