Byzantine dissensus -- Conclusion. 520 8 "In the rapidly changing world of the early Middle Ages, depictions of the cosmos represented a consistent point of reference across the three dominant states-the Frankish, Byzantine, and Islamic Empires. As these empires diverged from their Greco-Roman roots between 700 and 1000 A.D. and established distinctive medieval artistic traditions, cosmic imagery created a web of visual continuity, though local meanings of these images varied greatly. Benjamin Anderson uses thrones, tables, mantles, frescoes, and manuscripts to show how cosmological motifs informed relationships between individuals, especially the ruling elite, and communities, demonstrating how domestic and global politics informed the production and reception of these depictions. The first book to consider such imagery across the dramatically diverse cultures of Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic Middle East, [it] illuminates the distinctions between the cosmological art of these three cultural spheres, and reasserts the centrality of astronomical imagery to the study of art history."--Jacket flap. 650 0 Art, Medieval |xEuropean influences. 650 0 Art, Medieval |xByzantine influences. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85007778 650 0 Art, Medieval |xIslamic influences. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85007780 902 dws |bm |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20170322 904 bv |ba |hm |cb |e20170321 914 (OCoLC)ocn954224102 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240501 |eprocessed |f954224102
