The first exploration of the artistic and cultural intersections of
the African continent and the Byzantine world  Medieval art
history has long emphasized the glories of the Byzantine Empire,
but less known are the profound artistic contributions of Egypt,
Nubia, Ethiopia, and other powerful African kingdoms whose pivotal
interactions with Byzantium had an indelible impact on the
Mediterranean world. Bringing together masterworks in a range of
mediums and techniques—from mosaic, sculpture, pottery, and
metalwork to luxury objects, panel paintings, and religious
manuscripts—this publication recounts Africa’s centrality in
far-flung transcontinental networks of trade and cultural exchange.
With incisive scholarship and new photography of works rarely or
never before seen in public, Africa and Byzantium sheds new light
on the staggering artistic achievements of medieval Africa. This
long-overdue publication reconsiders the continent’s
contributions to the development of the premodern world and offers
a more complete history of Africa as a vibrant, multiethnic society
of diverse languages and faiths that played a key role in the
artistic, economic, and cultural life of Byzantium and beyond.
