New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. In special commercial box. 4to. (33 x 33 cm). In English. 511 p., color ills. The book titles 'Mosaics of Anatolia' is the variegated great adventure of the square that has existed on earth for thousand of years. At the same time, when each mosaic square is aligned next to each other they are like the sentences created by the words in a literary text: as an epic of the concept of depiction inspired by the myths of past civilisations. In this great adventure, the art of mosaics sometimes focused on the legends told by people, sometimes on daily life and sometimes on holy texts by tracking the past of nature at all times. A great journey in the infinity of colourful cubes. Therefore, the subjects of our book are the squares of both reknowned and unknown cultures who have settled in and emigrated from Anatolian lands. Like the diary of a traveler, we have withessed and catalogued the existence of the art of mosaics in every part of Anatolia. Each and every one of them is a meaningful visual feast telling the stories of settling and emigrating civilisations. ISBN: 9786055495107. ARCHEOLOGY Anatolian civilizations History of art Mosaic.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. In publisher's special slip-case. Oblong 4to. (29 x 38 cm). In English. 240 p., color ills. Located in the Edirnekapi neighborhood of Istanbul and dating as far back as the 6th Century, the Church of Chora Monastery (Kariye Mosque) stands out as a noteworthy Byzantine work of art in the world of art history with its mosaics and frescoes. The monastery was renovated during the Palaeologos Dynasty, also known as the "Third Golden Age" of Byzantine Art, and has spectacular mosaics and frescoes which are at the heart of our work. Before studying these mosaics and frescoes in our book, we provided the vast history of the period in an effort to clarify the themes featured on the panels. Also included in our book is the life story of Theodore Metochites, a versatile administrator and the person behind the creation of the mosaics and frescoes of the monastery which represent the most beautiful examples of Byzantine art. There are mosaics in the exterior and interior narthexes of Chora depicting the lives of Jesus and Mary as well as religious stories, while its domes, arches and walls have both mosaics and frescoes concerning subjects that are interrelated and depicted mostly together and sometimes in different locations. For a holistic recounting of those related depictions that are placed independently from each other, repetitions were necessary at times. In addition to this world-renowned church which we tried to present to you within a broad time line, we also covered the other churches in Istanbul that belong to the Byzantine Period, in the last section of our book. We ended our journey with these churches and monasteries, which are also significant in Byzantine history.
