Description:

The third and final of the major exhibition catalogues after 'The Age of Spirituality and 'The Glory of Byzantium', this lavishly presented book features over 350 artefacts, including 40 major icons, magnificent textiles, metalwork, glass, gems, coinage and illuminated manuscripts, from the last golden age of the Byzantine Empire. Byzantine artistic and intellectual practices influenced both the development of the Renaissance in Italy, and the Islamic world, which adapted motifs drawn from Byzantium's imperial past. Also explores how Byzantine art was also emulated and transformed in other Eastern Christian centres of power, among them Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Cilician Armenia. Supported by scholarly essays, maps and photography of ecclesiastical architecture. Text engl.
