The Art Of The Byzantine Era

The Art of the Byzantine Era (1997) by David Talbot Rice – Thames and Hudson
Sold with flaking gold leaf and a sense of spiritual awe by Crappy Old Books.

Enter the glittering, icon-filled world of Byzantium with David Talbot Rice as your scholarly (and slightly intimidating) guide. Originally penned by one of the leading authorities on Eastern Christian art, this 1997 edition from Thames and Hudson is part of their World of Art series — compact, richly illustrated, and perfect for anyone who wants to understand mosaics, domes, icons, and imperial bling without learning Greek.

Our copy? Let’s just say it’s seen some crusades. The corners are curled, the pages are dog-eared, and the cover may have lost its sheen — but the sacred splendor inside still glows (albeit under yellowed paper).

Fine condition.
