Description
This Book on the Splendors of Christendom-Dmitri Kessels & Commentary by Henri Peyre covers the following periods: Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Modern Churches. Dmitri Kessels is known as one of the worlds most talented and ubiquitous of the worlds leading photographers. He worked for Life Magazine beginning in 1937 and the photographs of the churches in this book took months of arduous labor. This book contains what some might consider the greatest and most famous churches in the world. It is very unusual but the pictures in this book are not printed on the page of the book they are photos that have been attached to the page giving a much more striking image than normally would have occurred in most books. Spectacular is an understatement for the photos and the history of the church depicted is overwhelming. This is not an easy read but the detail and background given certainly gives you the flavor of the time and place he photographed. This is a book you have to experience. As you turn the pages you will be in awe at the splendor and detail contained within. Condition: Very good condition except for missing dust jacket. Hardcover 264 pages, 15 1/4" x 11 3/4" x 2".; This Book on the Splendors of Christendom-Dmitri Kessels & Commentary by Henri Peyre covers the following periods: Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Modern Churches.
