For the people of Byzantium, their architectural works, frescoes,
mosaics, ivories, chalices, bejewelled gospel covers and qlany
other opulent works of art were the material proof of their
greatness and power over the Mediterranean states. The vast range
of these riches is illustrated in this complete account of
Byzantine art from the reign of Justinian to the fall of
Constantinople. David Talbot Rice, one of the greatest authorities
on Byzantine art, travelled as far afield as the rock churches of
Cappadocia and Cilicia, the tufa monuments of Armenia and Georgia,
and the thirteenth-century ceramic factories of Bulgaria, now
buried in the alluvial mud of the Danube. His book is a masterly
survey of an art of magnificence and power that belonged to a great
and sophisticated society.
