The opulence of Byzantine art, with its extravagant use of gold and silver, is well known. 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. 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 updated, colour edition includes new discoveries, a revised bibliography, and, in a new epilogue, a rethinking of He shows how the many political and religious upheavals of this period produced a wide range of styles and developments in art.
