An illustrated survey of Greek mosaics from the Byzantine period, introduced by André Grabar. The volume examines the development of Byzantine mosaic art in Greece, including important surviving ensembles at sites such as Daphni, Hosios Loukas and Thessaloniki. It considers the religious subjects, iconographic programmes, techniques and stylistic development of monumental mosaic decoration from the early Byzantine centuries through the later medieval period. The introductory text is accompanied by an extensive selection of colour plates illustrating major examples of Greek Byzantine mosaic art.
