Charts the revival of the art and architecture of the Byzantine Empire that took place across Europe and North America in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
A highly decorative style, originally produced in Byzantium (modern day Istanbul), it inspired the works of designers, artists and patrons such as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Gustav Klimt, Edward Burne-Jones and Ludwig I of Bavaria.
This original and pioneering interdisciplinary study presents the first coherent account of the varied manifestations of Byzantinism in Germany, Austria, France, Britain and America.
Rich illustrated with Byzantine originals and the works they inspired.
Covering politics, religion and literature as well as the arts, this is an exemplary study in cultural history.
