Phaidon really took the bit between its teeth with this vast
series. All the classic areas, movements and individuals are
covered in a series of some 130 titles. Early Christian and
Byzantine Art by John Lowden, as are the other series titles, is a
comprehensive overview of its subject. Attractively designed and
well- written, it provides an introduction to 1000 years of art.

In the 1320's AD the Emperor Constantine moved the capital of his
Empire from Rome to Byzantium, which was renamed Conatantinople,
and until its fall in 1453 remained a major artistic centre. Under
successive emperors and empresses for more than a thousand years,
artists, archtects and craftsmen produced superb and intriguing
works ranging fom the grandest public buildings to the smallest and
most personal items. Today this art is generally termed early
Christian and Byzantine.
