The work explores the evolution and significance of various art forms during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, detailing their cultural impacts and the craftsmanship involved. The book aims to present a comprehensive overview of artistic traditions, ranging from architecture to decorative arts. At the start of this book, the author outlines his ambitious project, focusing on the transition of art from the Middle Ages—characterized by a spiritual and often rugged aesthetic—to the flourishing creativity of the Renaissance, which embraced classical ideals of beauty and form. Lacroix delves into the origins of furniture used in this era, discussing the transformation from simple materials to ornate craftsmanship as society evolved from a state of barbarism to one of prosperity and cultural richness. He introduces themes of ornamentation, the influence of various cultures, and the societal changes that prompted new artistic expressions, making it clear that the arts serve as a reflection of historical developments.
