Are you interested in the art history of the Byzantine Empire?

If so, you'll be fascinated to learn that this culture produced a rich tradition of Christian art that has been inherited by various nations and states.

Although the Byzantine Empire ceased to exist in 1453, its cultural and artistic heritage has been preserved and celebrated by a variety of Eastern Orthodox and Islamic states throughout the years.

In this newsletter, we'll explore the evolution of Byzantine art, from its classical influences to its strikingly "abstract" nature, and examine some of the key forms in which it was expressed, including monumental art, religious art, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures, and luxury items. Whether you're an art history buff or simply curious about the legacy of one of the world's most influential empires, you won't want to miss this journey into the world of Byzantine art.
