Description
|
|
|
|
This catalog from a 2006 exhibit at Baltimore's Walters Art Gallery features 291 medieval art objects from the collections of the State Russian Museum, Saint Petersburg, and the Novgorod State Museum, including 35 icons that trace the material and artistic culture of the city of Novgorod from the 9th century through its apogee in the 14th century, to its eclipse by Moscow in the 16th. Described in ten essays by archaeologists, art and architectural historians, and social historians, the material culture of this remarkable city is represented by such items as carved wood and bone objects, leather goods, jewelry, musical instruments, and birch bark documents. Precious ecclesiastical objects—icons, metalwork, and textiles—from the city's numerous churches and monasteries highlight the cultural achievements of Novgorod's Golden Age.
