Himmelswelten

Look to the sky and discover the magnificent vaults of churches and monasteries, mosques and museums, palaces and grand buildings. Seventy masterpieces of craftsmanship, painted, carved, or decorated with stucco, await viewers. The global wealth of forms and colors makes this picture book shine. Accompanied by short, narrative texts—little art history, but plenty of exciting stories about worldly rulers and spiritual powers. A map for orientation and breathtaking images: embark on a journey to these treasures of wood, stone, and color. Not for architecture professionals, but for anyone who simply wants to marvel. A great gift as a conversation starter and for browsing. Informative, varied, and surprising.
