Early Christian and Byzantine art is part of the Universe history of art series. "An open-ended series of books about art styles, individual artists, and various other aspects of the development of major and minor arts thoughout the world. ... After describing the social, political, religious and intellectual climate in which the visual arts developed in a particular period, each of these volumes freshly traces the genesis and attainments of the painting, sculpture, architecture, and luxury arts of that period, the features that distinguish this style from others, and above all its significance and meaning."--Jacket

This study shows how the two halves of the Roman Empire, the Christians in Rome and the Orthodox Christians in the East, adapted the art of classical antiquity to new conditions.

"The first thousand years of the Christian Church and its great monuments is the sphere of this unusual book. From the origins of the Church and its development in Rome, Ravenna and Byzantium, through the story of early Western Europe and, finally, to the Golden Age of Byzantium and its widespread influence in all the Christian East, Professor Jean Lassus traces this fascinating story in a magnificent book including over 200 illustrations, 117 in colour. We are presented here with the epic of Christianity and its great art from the catacombs to Byzantine Russia. The secret life of the first Christians in Rome and their subsequent acceptance by the state in the 4th century survive for us only through the paintings in the catacombs, and the sculpture of the sarcophagi. Gradually signs of the increasing power and wealth of the Church are found in the majestic basilicas and glittering mosaics of the Italian capital. The influence of Constantine's building programme, both in Italy and in the Holy Land, are analysed with outstanding authority. Professor Lassus, an expert in this field, explains the evolution of Byzantine Church architecture with the development of the dome, and its diffusion through the empire. He examines in detail the important role of Ravenna, combining the traditions of Rome and the East, and pays particular attention to the astonishing variety of the mosaic decoration. During the period of Iconoclasm (the banning of all images in religious art in the 8th century) the figurative arts of Byzantium suffered irreparable damage, but the revoking of this decree a century later resulted in magnificent frescoes and mosaics full of expression and grace. The influence of these works spread from Constantinople throughout her empire from the eastern shores of the Black Sea through Russia and as far as Greece and Sicily. Cultural activities in the West between the 6th and 11th centuries were more scattered than those of the Christian East. The amazingly complex decorative patterns and intertwining motifs inherited from Celtic art found flourishing expression in Ireland. The Irish illuminated manuscripts such as the Books of Kells and Durrow had a far-reaching influence on the manuscripts of Carolingian Europe while the products of Charlemagne's 'renaissance' were a crystallisation of the barbarian arts and a step towards the impending expansion of the Romanesque. In the end, it is the sumptuous magnificence of Byzantine art which is most memorable - the brilliant mosaics, the shining gold and silver, the jewels, enamels, the luxurious silks and embroideries - but the reason for this imperial manifestation is the same that prompted the more modest expressions in the catacombs and the beautiful simplicity of early church architecture. Professor Lassus tells the story of this dramatic period in a clear and immensely readable way and the astonishing variety of works of art are reproduced in faithful detail to illustrate handsomely for the reader this unique and absorbing book." --
