An exciting new publication by Penn State University Press – Romanesque Tomb Effigies: Death and Redemption in Medieval Europe, 1000–1200, by Shirin Fozi.
Framed by evocative inscriptions, tumultuous historical events, and the ambiguities of Christian death, Romanesque tomb effigies were the first large-scale figural monuments for the departed in European art. In this book, Shirin Fozi explores these provocative markers of life and death, establishing early tomb figures as a coherent genre that hinged upon histories of failure and frustrated ambition.
