Saints and Spectacle. Byzantine Mosaics in their Cultural Setting. - CONNOR, C. L.,
Byzantine Mosaics in Their Cultural Setting
KORTE INHOUD
The origins of the Middle-Byzantine system in church decoration, as well as the capital/provinces dichotomy, have remained open questions since the fundamental studies by Otto Demus. By highlighting performative facets of this system, which reflect the ritual art of the palace and patriarchate that was used to forge the Empire's cultural and political identity, Connor succeeds in illuminating the diversity of the more or less subtle nuances of the medium. Dimitra Kotoula, Medieval Archaeology 12/2017 |a 07/09/2018 (Publisher's information).
