The early Christian and medieval mosaics in Italy are among the
most artistic creations of their time. Richly endowed with
magnificent color plates, this opulent volume draws on 19
outstanding mosaic decorations to present a comprehensive panorama
of this spectacular form of art. Early Christian apse mosaics and
mosaic cycles provided for monumental beginnings to Christian
pictorial art. Although supplemented by new images since the 12th
Century, the early Christian themes were held in high regard up
through the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages, the mosaic's
stylistic devices already showed a transcendental-Christian
compliant world view. The author's knowledge becomes apparent in
his descriptions of the development of mosaic art in Italy, whose
centers during the early years were found in Rome and Ravenna.
Since the 6th century, the presentations see an increasingly
byzantine influence. After a prolonged interruption there came a
brief revival in Rome around the year 800, but mosaic art only
reached full fruition during the 12th and 13th centuries when, in
addition to Rome, mosaic cycles became evident in Venice, Sicily,
and Florence. These drew heavily from byzantine inspiration. German
text.
