The legacy of that approach is apparent in the wide range of essays making up this volume, in which seventy distinguished American, European, and Asian scholars pay homage to this great and innovative scholar. The articles presented here include studies of ancient, Late Antique, and Early Christian art; art and architecture in the medieval Latin West; and architecture, fresco painting, manuscript illumination, icons, sculpture, and works of minor art produced in Byzantium and neighboring areas. This richly illustrated compendium of studies will serve as a sourcebook for the study of all aspects of medieval artistic culture. Among the editors providing assistance with this volume are Slobodan Curci&cacute is Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University; George Galavaris is Professor of Art History at McGill University; Herbert L. Kessler is Charlotte Bloomberg Professor in the School of Arts and Sciences, the Johns Hopkins University; Gary Vikan is Director of the Walters Art Gallery. Doula Mouriki was Professor of Art History at the Technical University of Athens. Review: "This splendid volume honours the memory of Kurt Weitzmann, one of the most influential of Byzantine art historians in this century. . . . A very comprehensive introduction to the range of issues and the material available in the vast field of Byzantine art."--Averil Cameron, The Times Higher Education Supplement - language : English,German and French Texts Monografia Tipo documentoTesto a stampa TitoloByzantine east, latin west : art-historical studies in honor of Kurt Weitzmann / edited by Christopher Moss, Katherine Kiefer PubblicazionePrinceton : Department of art and archaeology, Princeton University, c1995 Descrizione fisicaXLIX, 697 p. : ill. ; 32 cm.
