More about the book
The book explores early Christian icons from the sixth and seventh centuries, drawing parallels with established genres of sacred portraiture from late antiquity. It examines their similarities to Roman imperial portraiture, Greco-Egyptian funerary art, and panel paintings of non-Christian deities, highlighting the cultural and artistic influences that shaped these religious images. Through this analysis, the work sheds light on the evolution of Christian iconography in the context of historical artistic traditions.
