Description
Byzantine Art by Robin Cormack A comprehensive introduction to the entire period and range of Byzantine art, this updated edition challenges common assumptions about its development. Contrary to traditional views, Cormack reveals how the many upheavals of the time led to a diverse array of styles and artistic developments. The book explores the opulent use of gold and silver in Byzantine art, as well as the creation of powerful icons, illuminated manuscripts, and mosaics that reflected and promoted the society's values. A new epilogue provides a fresh perspective on Byzantine Art for the present day, incorporating recent discoveries and revisions to the bibliography. This colour edition includes new insights into the artistic developments of this period, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Byzantine art.
