Description
Byzantine Rome by Annie Montgomery Labatt explores the intriguing connection between medieval Rome and the eastern medieval tradition. This book delves into the cross-cultural exchange that shaped the artistic styles and iconographies of the time, revealing how Roman monuments reflect a complex web of relationships between East and West. The chapters chronicle the socio-political exchanges between the two regions, examining how visual language manifested in the monuments that defined Rome's medieval landscape. By investigating these connections, Labatt sheds light on the interconnected nature of "Romes" during this period. Through its exploration of Byzantine aesthetics in Western art, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the historical context that underpinned Rome's medieval monuments.
