"Incorporating abundant multilingual publications, this engaging study will serve as an indispensable reference book and catalyst for further inquiry. The figures and plates were well chosen and elaborated on throughout the work. It is laudatory that Kessler made such an encompassing study flow so seamlessly and invitingly."
Elizabeth Marie Sandoval, Williams College Museum of Art, Journal of British Studies
"Experiencing Medieval Art taught me a great deal about medieval art. Its comprehensive index provides a useful starting point for doing research into individual topics like The Last Supper or a medium like stained glass and many more. Individual chapters might easily be assigned in an undergraduate classroom, or the work as a whole would serve any medievalist’s library well. It is an excellent resource for faculty wanting to speak more effectively about medieval material in their own classrooms."
Christina Francis, Bloomsburg University, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching
"Nobody knows contemporary medieval art history like Herbert Kessler. In Experiencing Medieval Art, he brings his 2004 Seeing Medieval Art up to date in a way that only he could do, combining a sweeping review of major themes of strong current interest with an unsurpassed mastery of the recent literature."
Conrad Rudolph, Distinguished Professor, Department of the History of Art University of California, Riverside
"A fascinating synthesis of scholarship on medieval art bringing to the fore the results of the newest research, this book will attract students in medieval art for generations to come. The beautiful design and many color images further enhance the appeal of this study."
