THE PAINTED CHURCHES OF CYPRUS

TREASURES OF BYZANTINE ART

Andreas Stylianou and Judith A.Stylianou

In a large number of rural churches in Cyprus wall-paintings have survived which are not only of great value in themselves but, also provide a most precious documentation of the development of Byzantine art. Every period and style from the sixth to the eighteenth century is represented. Many are precisely dated. No other area of comparable size can offer so comprehensive a series.Preface, Introduction, Contents, Glossary, Bibliography and index.517 pp with over 300 illustrations throughout (mostly black & white)
