About the book

The Age of Illumination brings together Byzantine Art and Civilisation by Steven Runciman and Early Medieval Art and Civilisation and Gothic Art and Civilisation by George Henderson. Across three volumes, religious belief, political authority and changing artistic traditions are explored through the works and buildings they produced. Architecture, sculpture, mosaics and decorated manuscripts reveal different ways medieval societies expressed faith and power. The collection reaches beyond manuscript illumination to examine the wider visual cultures of Byzantium and medieval Europe, connecting individual achievements with the historical worlds in which they were made.
