The Medieval Monastery of Saint Elijah: A History in Paint and Stone by Alison Perchuk, was awarded with the 2024 Karen Gould Prize in Art History of The Medieval Academy of America.
The Karen Gould Prize, established by an endowed gift from Lewis Gould in 2016, is awarded annually for a book or monograph (conference proceedings and collected essays are not eligible) in medieval art history judged by the selection committee to be of outstanding quality. To be eligible, the author must be a member in good standing of the Medieval Academy of America.
The book is a methodologically ambitious, sumptuously illustrated, and erudite study of a twelfth-century monastery near Rome that offers a compelling biography of a neglected Romanesque jewel as well as evocative multisensory readings of its architecture, frescoes, and sculpture.
The Medieval Monastery of Saint Elijah: A History in Paint and Stone is now available with a special website price until 30/04/2024
