Medieval Art The Glory of Byzantium Middle & Near Eastern Art Byzantium Faith and Power (1261–1557) Helen C. Evans et al.

This spectacular book presents hundreds of objects in all media from the late thirteenth through mid-sixteenth centuries. Featured in full-color reproductions are sacred icons, luxuriously embroidered silk textiles, richly gilded metalwork, miniature icons of glass, precious metals and gemstone, and elaborately decorated manuscripts. In the accompanying text, renowned scholars discuss the art and investigate the cultural and historical interaction between these major cultures—the Christian and Islamic East and the Latin West.
