It was a distinct pleasure finding a larger format inexpensive yet very informing book on Byzantine art. While not covered in great depth, it satisfied a general knowledge of what happened when. All in all a very fine introduction to a complex and far reaching subject. Mostly good reproductions.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to Byzantine art
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2010
This book provides a narrative history of all aspects of Byzantine art, from architecture and icons to manuscripts, jewelry and liturgical items. The photography is excellent, the colors rich and dazzling. The text emphasizes that Byzantine art was secular as well as religious and notes the synthesis of Classical and Orthodox influences. As a Russian historian, it was very interesting to see early Russian art in the larger Byzantine context. I was especially taken by the Byzantine manuscripts, which have some amazing colors and show the mixture of Classical and Orthodox influences especially well. The chapters are chronological and begin with a short history of the empire during the era in question and then go on to survey the whole of the arts in Byzantium for that period. There aren't any footnotes, but there is a useful bibliography at the end, as well as maps and a timeline. This is an excellent place to start learning about the complex and beautiful world of Byzantine art. As the author notes, "Byzantium, like Rome, counts among the progenitors of the modern world." (p. 200)
