Dividing the time into three periods: 600-900, 900-1500 and 1500-1800, they set the artistic development in each era within its historical context and use art as a window into Islamic culture. Written in an accessible style, and illustrated throughout with photographs, maps and plans, the book captures the essence of Islamic culture as expressed in its buildings, books and applied arts, and provides an introduction to the subject for both the student and the general reader." - Publisher. *** THE RISE OF ISLAM 600-900 AD. 1.

From ancient sculptures of Athens and Rome to icons and paintings erased by the Reformation, from artworks destroyed by the Nazis to those looted and smashed by ISIS, a Museum of Lost Art would provide a cutting reminder of the fragility of the world's treasures. [This book] examines the adventures and misadventures of art lost, but also sometimes found. The sparkling gold Byzantine mosaics in Istanbul's Hagia Sophia were concealed for 400 years under whitewash before being revealed again in 1934. Missing works by Goya, Picasso and Malevich have been discovered beneath later over-painting, by virtue of X-ray an other technologies. And a canvas by Willem de Kooning, stolen from a museum gallery, was rediscovered in 2017, having hung on the wall of a suburban bedroom for more than thirty years. These and other finds offer hope that all is not necessarily lost. In this book, art historian and art crime expert Noah Charney brings back to life a selection of lost artworks and some that have been found again, each with its story to tell." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction: a museum of lost art; Theft; War; Accident; Iconoclasm & vandalism; Acts of God; Temporal works; Destroyed by owner; Buried & exhumed; Lost, or never was?; Conclusion: lost is just another word for waiting to be found.

Solidly and tightly bound, essentially and nearly flawless copy with minimal internal and external wear and use. Copy with crisp pages, clean text on glossy paper, and light shelf wear. Smooth covers. Dust jacket suffers extensive wear around edges. Synopsis: Constantinople was the centre of civilization for eight hundred years. Politically, the city regarded herself as the heiress of Rome; throughout the Near East the citizens of the Byzantine Empire were called Romans. Culturally, the heritage was Roman and Greek. To this was added the force of Christianity, and from the beginning the Byzantine Emperors proclaimed themselves Vicars of God. Byzantine art was to become an integral part of the palatine rites and the liturgy of the Church. For many centuries, however, grave doubts over the propriety of representing God, the Virgin, and the Saints as graven and painted images disturbed the Byzantine Empire. After this controversy was concluded by a Council of the Church summoned by an Empress, a new religious style was evolved, austere, remote, to which time and the foibles of humanity were irrelevant. This style, one of the most important developments in the history of medieval art, exercised a marked influence throughout the western world. In its purest tradition, Byzantine art reveals a deep awareness of classical antiquity, religious devotion without sentimentality, loftiness of aesthetic conception, supreme elegance of form, and perfection of technique.
