The opulence of Byzantine art, with its extravagant use of gold and
silver, is well known. Highly skilled artists created powerful
representations reflecting and promoting this society and its
values in icons, illuminated manuscripts, and mosaics and
wallpaintings placed in domed churches and public buildings. This
complete introduction to the whole period and range of Byzantine
art combines immense breadth with interesting historical detail.
Robin Cormack overturns the myth that Byzantine art remained
constant from the inauguration of Constantinople, its artistic
centre, in the year 330 until the fall of the city to the Ottomans
in 1453. He shows how the many political and religious upheavals of
this period produced a wide range of styles and developments in
art. This updated, colour edition includes new discoveries, a
revised bibliography, and, in a new epilogue, a rethinking of
Byzantine Art for the present day.
