| Summary | "The Grotesque in Church Art" by T. Tindall Wildridge is a scholarly examination of the grotesque elements found in ecclesiastical artwork, written in the late 19th century. This work analyzes how various grotesque features in church art intertwine with historical, mythological, and artistic traditions, highlighting their significance and origins. The book explores the evolution of these artistic expressions and their reflection on the society that produced them. At the start of the book, the author provides a preface outlining the scope of the study and the types of grotesques that will be analyzed. He emphasizes the need for clear definitions and the relationship between church art and earlier pagan practices, suggesting that many church designs may have been derived from earlier religious forms. This opening establishes the foundation of Wildridge's arguments, as he prepares to delve deeper into the artistic qualities, historical context, and cultural significance of grotesques in church art throughout the book.
