A landmark work of art history and criticism, "Byzantine Painting" presents one of the most authoritative surveys of the sacred visual tradition of the Eastern Roman Empire, tracing its development from the fifth through the fourteenth century through a meticulous historical and critical examination of mosaics, monumental frescoes, and illuminated manuscripts, with dedicated chapters on celebrated sites including the mosaics of Ravenna and the frescoes of Sopocani and Nerezi, while situating the art within the broader theological, imperial, and iconographical frameworks that shaped it, and supported throughout by 105 exceptional full-colour reproductions that remain among the finest ever printed in the field.
