AUTHOR
SUMMARY
In this interdisciplinary study, Henry Maguire examines the impact of several literary genres and rhetorical techniques on the visual arts of Byzantium. In particular, he shows that the literary embellishments of the sermons and hymns of the church nourished the imaginations of artists, and fundamentally affected the iconography, style, and arrangement of their work. Using provocative material previously unfamiliar to art historians, he concentrates on religious art from a.d. 843 to 1453.Maguire, Henry P. is the author of 'Art+eloquence in Byzantium' with ISBN 9780691036939 and ISBN 0691036934.
