Book Description: Art and Identity in Thirteenth-Century Byzantium: Hagia Sophia and the Empire of Trebizond explores the interplay between art, religion, and politics in the turbulent thirteenth century, when Byzantium faced external threats from the Crusaders, the Seljuks, and the Mongols. The book examines how the empire's cultural identity was shaped by its religious heritage, political structures, and artistic innovations, and how these factors influenced its relations with neighboring states. It also considers the role of Hagia Sophia, one of the most famous churches in Christendom, as a symbol of imperial power and a site of artistic experimentation. The book begins with an overview of the political and social context of the time, including the reigns of Alexios III (1057–11118) and Andronikos I (1183–1185), before delving into the artistic achievements of the period. The author discusses the significance of mosaics, frescoes, and sculpture in the empire's visual culture, highlighting the contributions of artists such as Theophanes the Greek and Theodoros Koskinas.
Искусство и идентичность в Византии тринадцатого века: Святая София и Трапезундская империя исследует взаимодействие между искусством, религией и политикой в бурном тринадцатом веке, когда Византия столкнулась с внешними угрозами со стороны крестоносцев, сельджуков и монголов. В книге рассматривается, как культурная идентичность империи была сформирована ее религиозным наследием, политическими структурами и художественными инновациями, и как эти факторы повлияли на ее отношения с соседними государствами. Он также рассматривает роль Святой Софии, одной из самых известных церквей в христианском мире, как символ императорской власти и место художественных экспериментов. Книга начинается с обзора политического и социального контекста того времени, включая царствования Алексия III (1057 - 11118) и Андроника I (1183 - 1185), прежде чем углубиться в художественные достижения периода. Автор обсуждает значение мозаики, фресок и скульптуры в визуальной культуре империи, подчеркивая вклад таких художников, как Феофан Грек и Теодорос Коскинас.
