Explore the intricate beauty and historical significance of choir stalls in this groundbreaking collection of essays. Choir stalls were not just functional furnishings but key elements of medieval church interiors, adorned with carvings depicting religious scenes, animals, and symbolic motifs. This volume uniquely examines the role of patrons--both ecclesiastical and secular--who commissioned these masterpieces, highlighting the collaboration between woodcarvers and their sponsors. With a broad geographical and chronological scope, this collection offers fresh insights into the artistry and patronage behind choir stalls, making it essential reading for art historians, medievalists, and anyone fascinated by sacred art and architecture.
