«Ombres et lumières romanes» is an illustrated essay on Romanesque architecture by Alain Erlande-Brandenburg, published by Gisserot Editions in paperback.
The book analyzes the role of light in medieval Christian architecture. The first Constantinian temples were luminous spaces evoking the divine; in the Romanesque period, covering the naves with stone vaults could darken them, and the author explains how technical solutions maintained light and its symbolic value.
Work published in 2003. Includes photographs by Jean-Paul Gisserot and Christophe Renault. Text in French.
For those interested in art history, Romanesque architecture and medieval Christian art.
