ANATOLIAN SYNAGOGUES
This book has been prepared to present a culture, which was and is still being shared in the land called Anatolia. Art is the product of culture and mind; but it also has a specific aspect of its own. And this is form. The renowned art historian Heinrich Wöfflin says: “Men do not ever approach art with the same view, because they perceive what they see as they desire to see it, and then create it...” This idea determines the formation of cultures.

Byzantium
For more than a thousand years, from the time of early Christian Rome until the Renaissance, the Byzantine emperors reigned over a society famed for its high refinement, deep learning, and marvelous variety. Byzantine civilization was both Greek and Oriental, Christian and Roman, European and Asiatic. From the metropolis of Constantinople its art and culture spread outward to Russia, Syria, and Italy. Indeed, Byzantium preserved the artistic heritage of classical antiquity and conveyed it to Europe, transforming it along the way with infusions of Eastern Orthodox religion and Islamic aesthetics. Thomas Mathews surveys Byzantine art within a broad cultural and historical context. Themes emerge: the role of the imperial city within the empire; the place and representation of women; urban and country life; the domestic and secular spheres and the religious and public realms of church, palace, and street. Examining art styles and motifs, Mathews gives fresh readings to icons and iconoclasm, architecture, and the decorative arts.
