""The Art Schools of Mediaeval Christendom"" by Alice C. Owen is a comprehensive study of the art schools that flourished during the Middle Ages in Europe. The book explores the evolution of art education in the context of the Christian Church, tracing the development of artistic traditions from the early Christian period to the Gothic era. The author examines the role of the Church in promoting the arts, the training of artists, and the techniques and materials used in the creation of religious art. The book includes detailed analyses of key works of art and architecture, as well as discussions of the social and cultural contexts in which they were produced.
