Romanisches SpanienBy Marcel Durliat | Published by Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt German-language edition | Hardcover with original dust jacket
A richly illustrated volume by art historian Marcel Durliat, Romanisches Spanien explores the Romanesque architecture of Spain through an expert lens. This beautifully bound edition is filled with full-color plates capturing the austere beauty of monastic complexes, countryside chapels, and fortress-like churches that define the Romanesque period. Durliat, known for his academic work on medieval art, provides valuable context on the architectural elements that emerged during the 10th to 13th centuries—many of which were shaped by Spain’s unique position as a cultural and religious crossroads during the Reconquista.
This edition was published by the Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, a respected academic press based in Darmstadt, known for producing high-quality art and history volumes. The text is in German, making this an ideal piece for collectors, architecture enthusiasts, and historians interested in original-language scholarship. The binding itself is a deep navy blue cloth with bold white type on the spine, paired with a clean and complete dust jacket that frames the book beautifully as a display piece.
