Color-photographic dust jacket with white lettering. 427 pp. Mainly color illustrations, maps, plans. "The Byzantine Empire at times covered almost the entire Mediterranean, and its culture shone throughout Europe, but nowhere did Byzantium show greater splendor than in art." This generously illustrated volume offers the first German-language overview of Byzantine art in decades, impressively telling the story a world empire that was unthinkable without art AndersAs we see today, the Byzantines saw their pictures and buildings not only as a beautiful glow. Art was part of political life, and it was seen through the eyes of faith: the heavenly entranced mosaics, the icons that created personal closeness, and the church spaces that created a sensual-mystical experience. Arne Effenberger and Neslihan Asutay-Effenberger explore the imagery of Byzantium, which, like "Western" art, had its roots in Roman antiquity. They show how much Byzantine art shaped Europe, how it reacted to political events, religious and cultural upheavals, and how, in its more than 1000-year history, it developed a variety that astonished. So the band unfolds a magnificent panorama of the most important culture of the Middle Ages for a long time " -English Translation of Jacket Text.
