Bringing Medieval Architecture to the New World
Friday, February 12th, 2010From March until May of this year, a new exhibition will take place in the J Paul Getty Museum entitled Building the Medieval World: Architecture in Illuminated Manuscripts. This exhibition combines the art and literature from medieval and renaissance periods with the architecture of the time.
This fascinating exhibition will display how the artists and writers of the time were influenced and how their works were changed by the architecture of the time. From entirely fictional scenes and simple framing of paintings, through to showing how the people of the time interacted with the buildings, the scope of this exhibition should fascinate those with an interest in the history of architecture.
