Georges Duby situates the high productions of the medieval West in the general movement of civilisation and offers the keys to penetrate this universe of fascinating forms. He shows how, in the 10th century, the governance of artistic production passed from the hands of kings to those of monks; how, a hundred years later, the urban renaissance established the cathedral as the focus of the greatest innovations; and how, in the 14th century, artistic initiative returned to the princes and opened up to secular values.
