Book Description
An exciting new account of Irish high crosses This landmark study of Irish high crosses focuses on the carvings of an unnamed artist, the "Muiredach Master," whose monuments--completed in the early years of the 10th century--deserve a place alongside the Book of Kells as great works of their time. Drawing on a wealth of recent research, Roger Stalley describes in vivid detail how the crosses were made, where they were carved, and how they were lifted into place. His lively prose situates the works in their context, identifying patrons and exploring their motives, as well as venturing to understand what the crosses may have meant to those who gazed at them a millennium ago. In doing so, Stalley rejects preconceived notions about the imagery of the crosses, including the extent to which they were inspired by images from abroad.

Book Description
The freestanding crosses, which embellish the ancient monasteries of Ireland, are among the most attractive and skilful pieces of sculpture to survive the so-called 'dark ages', a time when the art of stone carving was not widely practised on the continent of Europe. Remnants of well over two hundred crosses remain, and these represent less than half the number that once existed. Athough studied over the centuries, many aspects of the crosses are still poorly understood. Here Professor Roger Stalley of the Department of History of Art at Trinity College Dublin, contributes to the ongoing study by sharing his undoubted expertise on the form, function and mystery of these crosses that are scattered throughout the Irish countryside.
