129 pp. Illustrated with tipped in color plates. When the papal court relocated to Avignon in the 14th century, it transformed the region into a major cultural and artistic crossroads. The book explores how this influx created a unique artistic environment that blended Italian elegance with Northern European realism. It provides a historical and critical examination of this distinct regional movement - often called the Avignon School - tracing the evolution of panel paintings, frescoes, and illuminated manuscripts that flourished under the patronage of popes, cardinals, and the Angevin dynasty.
