Description:
Painting the Soul explores both the creation and the development of the icon, and looks in detail at the Turin Shroud, Fayyum portraits from Egypt, and the early works of E1 Greco in Crete. This beautifully illustrated book shows how the study of the icon can transform our understanding of European art and culture. Publication coincides with a major exhibition of Byzantine art at the Met in New York, from March to July 1997.
