Featuring texts by leading scholars of the history and culture of
medieval Armenia, this book offers an in-depth look at its art,
trade, and religious traditions The papers in this volume, first
presented at an international symposium celebrating The Met's
blockbuster 2018 exhibition, Armenia!, explore the art and culture
of a civilization that served as a pivotal crossroads on the border
between East and West. Contributors address Armenia's roles in
facilitating exchange with the Mongol, Ottoman, and Persian empires
to the East and with Byzantium and European Crusader states to the
West. Essays also explore the ways in which elements of these
cultures commingled in Armenian art and religion-Armenian artists
and craftspeople produced an astonishing range of religious objects
that drew upon influences from both Europe and Asia but ultimately
created a uniquely Armenian visual identity. The authors explore
the effects of this dualistic tension in the history of Armenian
art and how it persists into the present, as this land situated at
a crossroads of civilization continues to grapple with the legacy
of genocide and counters new threats to its sovereignty, integrity,
and cultural language. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of
Art/Distributed by Yale University Press
