Offering a new approach to early Christian-Byzantine visual arts, this volume is comprised of expertly written essays, which integrate contemporary and historical research into 'the canon' of established scholarship. Each article looks to expose the historical, geographical, and cultural continuities and interactions in the visual arts of the late antique and medieval Mediterranean world. Beginning with a comprehensive introduction that maps the late antique and medieval Mediterranean world, this volume goes on to cover a extensive range of pertinent topics such from the effect that converging cultures in late antiquity had on art, to the cultural identities that can be observed by looking at difference of tradition in visual art, to the variance of illuminations in holy books. This book rethinks and broadens the scope of classification in "Late Antique, Medieval, and Mediterranean Art".
