The glory of Byzantium

Part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Publications series
See all formats and editions

Demonstrating the wide influence of the art of the middle Byzantine period (843-1261) on neighbouring Christian and Islamic states and on the Latin West, this is a celebration of its magnificent religious and secular objects.

More than 50 contributing scholars explore not only the works of Byzantium proper, but also those from beyond its borders, providing insights into the cultures of eastern Europe.

The essays are accompanied by colour reproductions of more than 400 objects, as well as photographs of architectural sites and comparative illustrations.
