Descripción: John Paul Getty Museum.
«Courtly splendor and rich visual arts characterized the Byzantine Empire (330–1453), which inherited the territories and cultural traditions of the eastern Roman Empire. At its height, the Byzantine Empire, whose capital was Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), reached from Italy to central Asia.
The culture of Byzantium was exported to its neighbors by many means. Byzantine paintings, illuminated books, and silk textiles were brought to the West as diplomatic gifts. Byzantine artistic traditions were also transmitted by traveling artists, scholars, and soldiers. This exhibition explores the influence of Byzantine art on manuscript painting in Germany, Italy, and Armenia.»
