Byzantine East, Latin West

Published 21 September 1995

Kurt Weitzmann, a renowned art historian who for many years was a professor of art at Princeton University, often demonstrated in hiw own writing the value of crossing the boundaries that have traditionally divided ancient, Byzantine and Western medieval art. The legacy of that approach is apparent in the wide range of essays making up this volume, in which 70 American, European and Asian scholars pay homage to this scholar. The articles presented in this book 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 its environs.
