- 2010923319 abstract "With images culled from eleven hundred years of history, this comprehensive survey explores the Byzantine Empire's vast range of artistic splendors that indelibly informed the art of modern Europe. Thomas Mathews emphasizes that the Byzantines' interest in humanism and painting the human figure became the essential bridge between classical and renaissance Europe. Starting with a brief history of Byzantium as a basis for understanding Byzantine theology and art, he places the empire's artistic development within a broad cultural and historical context. Featuring more than one hundred color plates of mosaics, metalwork, architecture, frescoes and religious artifacts, as well as maps, diagrams, and a timeline, this work provides an introduction to the full range of Byzantine art and iconography.".
