Broschiert / Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 176 Seiten / p., Abb. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Splendid, dazzling, magnificent - the fabled empire of Byzantium has always been described in glittering terms. For more than a thousand years, from the time of early Christian Rome until the Renaissance, the Byzantine emperors reigned over a society famed for its high refinement, deep learning, and marvelous variety. Byzantine civilization was both Greek and Oriental, Christian and Roman, European and Asiatic. From the metropolis of Constantinople its art and culture spread outward to Russia, Syria, and Italy. Indeed, Byzantium preserved the artistic heritage of classical antiquity and conveyed it to Europe, transforming it along the way with infusions of Eastern Orthodox religion and Islamic aesthetics. -- Thomas Mathews reveals this extraordinary world in all its grandeur and complexity, surveying Byzantine art within a broad cultural and historical context. Themes emerge: the role of the imperial city within the empire; the place and representation of women; urban and country life; the domestic and secular spheres and the religious and public realms of church, palace, and street. Examining art styles and motifs, Mathews gives fresh readings to icons and iconoclasm, architecture, and the decorative arts. -- From Roman portraits to the domes of the great church of Hagia Sophia, from the richly colored mosaics of church interiors to the grand spaces of Byzantine mansions, from the distant reaches of the Caucasus to imperial Ravenna and Norman Palermo, Mathews leads us on an unforgettable tour of an empire.
