Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monumental wall painting once embellished countless rural churches throughout France during the 11th and 12th centuries. In this book, Marcia Kupfer focuses on the rich, stylistically diverse group of fresco cycles dispersed throughout the medieval diocese of Bourges. To interpret the social and political roles of monumental painting, Kupfer explores what she calls the politics of narrative - the complex relation between the external world and the story of redemption unfolding across church walls.
