Byzantine Mosaics in Norman Sicily Cilento A.
Sicily is famous for the spectacular mosaics found in its magnificent palaces, chapels and cathedrals. A brief historical introduction about Byzantine, Arab and Norman domination and the spread of Byzantine art in Sicily is followed by three chapters dedicated to the greatest examples of Byzantine influence in Palermo, Cefal and Monreale. Commissioned during the twelfth century by Sicily's Norman rulers and largely the work of Greek-speaking mosaicists brought to Sicily from Constantinople, these mosaics are among the most beautiful examples of Byzantine art in existence.
There are many close-ups, along with breathtaking views of interior spaces. With more than 175 color photographs, this extensively illustrated book provides a fascinating look at these mosaics. Text in English and
