Professor Otto Demus's work on Byzantine art represents one of the
great original contributions to the subject made in this century.
His early studies in the 1930s on the "mosaics of Greece were
followed by his fundamental work on the mosaics of Norman Sicily
after the Second World War, and the later great studies of the
decoration of San Marco in Venice, which remained throughout his
abiding concern. These two volumes make available the papers Otto
Demus published in a variety of periodicals in the course of a long
and highly productive working lifetime. They have been edited and
revised by Dr. Irmgard Hutter, a pupil and friend of the author.
Volume I includes Demus's papers on Byzantine art in general,
including his outstanding "contribution to the study of the
development of Palaeologan art. His interest in the working methods
of the artists is also evident. The volume includes most of his
papers on Byzantine mosaics, mural painting, icons, enamels and
manuscript illumination. Volume II deals with the author's lifelong
interest, the mosaics of the church of San Marco in Venice. The
papers reproduced here cover the history and decoration of this
great monument, including the sculpture. The influence of the San
Marco mosaics and Byzantine art on the art of western Europe is
also covered.
