First volume in English on the largest complex of medieval monumental bronze doors in Europe
Europe's largest complex of medieval monumental bronze objects is made up of around 30 doors cast from various copper alloys. These doors, most of which are located in Italy, date from the 11th-12th centuries and are the epitome of medieval metal craftsmanship.
The bronze doors were crafted from a variety of copper alloys using the lost wax process. They could be cast as a single unit or individual metal fittings could be attached to a wooden support. Some doors feature inlays of various materials, which allowed for the coloured depiction of different biblical scenes or saints. We can now answer questions about the manufacture, the choice of materials and the significance of the materials of all the doors on-site thanks to a complete high-resolution photographic documentation, 3D models and comprehensive material analyses. This book presents the latest research on these extraordinary objects, showcasing new findings and insights.
