As an art historian in medieval art I would suggest this book if you are looking for a work that is more detailed than the all-encompassing art historical books on Western Art. However, its content is quite dense, almost cramped, in its attempt to cover so many art objects in such a brief manner. Consequently, the writing can be quite dry and hard to follow. If one is searching for a work that has a more leisurely pace but is just as informative, I would suggest the work by James Snyder of the same title. Its more lengthy, but far more detailed and focused on particular objects--a good basic text for the novice or professional.

As an art student, I have found Stockstsd's book a great help and a source of pleasure. The book containes wide and relevant infomation about the art of the Middle Ages - from it's early days to the high Gothics. The diferrent chapters offer the reader a relevant and comfortable division to chapters and issues. Wide historical backround,suggested by Stockstad in every chapter, is interesting and important for understanding the caltural, religios and political surroundiung of the special art of these days. Many color picture make the book an easser and more pleassurable to read and remember even for a non english reader and the whole experience of the book can be summarised into "great".
