Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an introduction to the art and antiquities of the Christian East, from the 4th century to the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. The first Christian capital of Constantinople drew its art and ideas from the wider world, which this book traces. The author explores sources as far-ranging as Armenia, Egypt, Anatolia, Greece, Italy, and Syria. We see how the artwork of this era was a dynamic meeting ground of influences, combining established Hellenistic forms with motifs from the Near East. One of the main strengths of this book is its focus on how cultural identity is expressed through objects. Chapters on sculpture, painting, mosaics, textiles, and other formats are not just surveys of technique and style. Instead, they're investigations into the way different artistic media were used to transmit complex sets of ideas. By looking at the art of the Christian East, the book illuminates themes such as identity, authority, and the evolution of iconography. This book is a rich source of fresh insights into a crucial stage in the development of Christian art.
