Art et Mentalité à Byzance by Tania Velmans 24 x 17 cm
|
A pupil of André Grabar, Tania Velmans has worked for over thirty years on the art of the Byzantine empire and its wider diffusion throughout the neighbouring Slavic lands.
This new volume brings together seven important
studies on the art and intellectual world of Byzantium. A long introductory
survey of the representation of space in Byzantine art is followed by papers
on the expression of time, on Hesychasm and its influence on art, and on Byzantine
portraits. A paper on the iconography of the painted churches of Moldavia
is followed by a reflection on the spread of Constantinopolitan artistic models
to the margins of the Byzantine world.
