Byzantium and British Heritage - Byzantine influences on the Arts and Crafts Movement (Hardcover): Amalia G. Kakissis Byzantium and British Heritage - Byzantine influences on the Arts and Crafts Movement (Hardcover)

Byzantium was a very influential part of the development of the Arts and Crafts Movement (1880-1910) in Britain, and although the influence of the Gothic Revival (1830-80) is well known, that of the Byzantine Revival (1840-1910) is not. This volume is about the people and the movements that created the Byzantine Revival and shows how they influenced British heritage from architecture to the decorative arts during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The central pillars of the volume are the architects and scholars who created the Byzantine Research Fund (BRF) Archive, a unique collection of architectural drawings and photographs of numerous monuments across the Byzantine world, and the social and professional networks in which they circulated. The BRF members, an eclectic and little-known group, who based themselves at the newly founded British School at Athens, established the research of Byzantium in Britain and Greece. They were trained in the traditions of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which sought authenticity in design and decoration in reaction to the styles that had developed through industrialization. Their work, uniting a distinctively British design tradition with Byzantine arts and crafts, represents a highly significant and under-researched link between Britain and the Hellenic world. This volume is the first contribution to try to fill this knowledge gap. Byzantium and British Heritage will appeal to all those interested in the relation between Byzantine and British culture and Byzantine art.
