The twelve studies contained in this second collection by Henry
Maguire are linked together by a common theme, namely the
relationship of Byzantine art to the imaginary. They show how art
enabled the Byzantines not only to imagine the sacred events of the
past, but also to visualize the invisible present by manifesting
the spiritual world that they could not see. The articles are
grouped around the following five topics: the depiction of nature
by the Byzantines before and after iconoclasm, especially in
portrayals of the earthly and the spiritual Paradise; the social
functions and theological significance of classical artistic forms
in Byzantine art after iconoclasm; the association between rhetoric
and the visual arts in Byzantium, especially in contrast to the
role played by liturgical drama in western medieval art; the
relationship of the visual arts to Byzantine concepts of justice
and the law, both human and divine; and portrayals of the two
Byzantine courts, the imperial court on earth and the imagined
court in heaven. The papers cover a wide range of media, including
floor and wall mosaics, paintings in manuscripts and churches,
ivory carvings, coins, and enamel work.
