Review

"The Victoria and Albert Museum has one of the greatest collections of medieval and Renaissance art and design in existence, ranging in date from about 300 to 1600 and in size from the miniature to the monumental. This book brings together some of the treasures of the collection, ahead of their presentation in a new suite of galleries opening in 2009. The works of art may be instantly recognizable as extraordinary examples of artistic achievement, but they also have complex stories to tell."--book jacket
