THE EARLY CISTERCIAN ABBEYS of France have long been revered for their exquisitely proportioned spaces and ethereal acoustics. Together with the great cathedrals, these remarkable medieval buildings embody the profound mastery of architecture that blossomed in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Europe. Built by the Cistercian order of monks nearly 900 years ago, these structures are renowned among contemporary architects and artists for the austere, almost minimal nature of their design and construction. Cistercian architecture draws together the fundamentals of masonry and geometry to create a harmony of stone and light, of uncluttered interior volumes and modest external masses. The buildings and ruins that remain today are immensely, almost unspeakably refined. Upon entering le Thoronet or Senanque, Fontenay or Silvacane, one is deeply touched by the quality of the silence and the light. Free by design of distracting details, these are places of recollection, of concentration, of serenity. "Every force evolves a form", wrote the American Shakers, who mirrored the original Cistercian impulse in both their values and their refined craftsmanship. If the first force that shaped Cistercian architecture was a quest for the spiritual life through simplicity, the second was the constructive genius of architects and masons who perceived in that simplicity an occasion to practice their art with astonishing intelligence and sensitivity. David Heald's luminous photographs provide an extraordinary record of exploration through more than a decade of periodic visits to Cistercian places throughout France. He puts before us not just views but moments -- moments when light enters a space or fallson an exterior in ways that illuminate and reveal. His evocative photographs offer loving witness to the bare brilliance, power, and subtlety of early Cistercian architecture. The text by Terryl N. Kinder offers a concise introduction to the history and milieu of the early Cistercians and the forces that brought forth the architecture. Her discussion of the Rule of Saint Benedict and its meaning for the Cistercians, both ancient and contemporary, provides a foundation for understanding these buildings that is informed by the most recent scholarship and archeological research.

The nature of the Cistercian movement resulted in a uniform style of architecture across Europe, noted for its lack of decoration and poetic atmosphere. Cistercian Abbeys traces the chronological development of this movement and depicts its major monasteries in France, England, Ireland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain and Portugal. A typical Konemann publication: massive in size, superb in illustration.

The Cistercian abbeys of northern England provide some of the finest monastic remains in all of Europe, and much has been written on their twelfth- and thirteenth-century architecture. The present study is the first in-depth analysis of the art and architecture of these northern houses and nunneries in the late Middle Ages, and questions many long-held opinions about the Order's perceived decline during the period c.1300-1540. Extensive building works were conducted between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries at well-known abbeys such as Byland, Fountains, Kirkstall, and Rievaulx, and also at lesser-known houses including Calder and Holm Cultram, and at many convents of Cistercian nuns. This study examines the motives of Cistercian patrons and the extent to which the Order continued to enjoy the benefaction of lay society. Featuring over a hundred illustrations and eight colour plates, this book demonstrates that the Cistercians remained at the forefront of late medieval artistic developments, and also shows how the Order expressed its identity in its visual and material cultures until the end of the Middle Ages.

There is a renaissance of interest in Cistercian architecture. The simplicity, harmonious proportions, and excellent construction of these abbeys -- many still situated in the wooded intimacy of Europe's rural valleys -- today attract thousands of visitors who come to experience the buildings and to learn more about the medieval men and women who lived there. Cistercian Europe: Architecture of Contemplation offers a lavishly illustrated journey through Europe's magnificent Cistercian abbeys. A leading expert in medieval architecture, Terryl Kinder brings these famous monasteries to life, showing not only where monks lived, worked, and prayed but also how the exquisite architecture of these buildings reflects the spiritual transformation to which their residents aspired.
