"L'ornement constitue un monde riche d'invention, qui a su traverser les siècles et les civilisations, s'imprégnant du génie propre du lieu et du temps, le reflétant comme un miroir au gré de l'imagination de l'artiste et de l'artisan. Les motifs se mêlent, se déconstruisent et se recomposent, parfois les mêmes mais toujours nouveaux. Ainsi, les rinceaux, luxuriants sur les temples de l'Antiquité romaine, griffant finement la pierre des églises et des châteaux de la Renaissance française, réapparaissent-ils plus tard sur les immeubles haussmanniens. Pour (re-)connaître un motif, il faut pouvoir le nommer. Sans être exhaustif, cet ouvrage est un outil précieux pour mieux identifier et comprendre les mots de l'ornement."--P. [4] de la couv.

The fourteen essays in this collection demonstrate a wide variety of approaches to the study of Byzantine architecture and its decoration, a reflection of both newer trends and traditional scholarship in the field. The variety is also a reflection of Professor Curcic’s wide interests, which he shares with his students. These include the analysis of recent archaeological discoveries; recovery of lost monuments through archival research and onsite examination of material remains; reconsidering traditional typological approaches often ignored in current scholarship; fresh interpretations of architectural features and designs; contextualization of monuments within the landscape; tracing historiographic trends; and mining neglected written sources for motives of patronage. The papers also range broadly in terms of chronology and geography, from the Early Christian through the post-Byzantine period and from Italy to Armenia. Three papers examine Early Christian monuments, and of these two expand the inquiry into their architectural afterlives. Others discuss later monuments in Byzantine territory and monuments in territories related to Byzantium such as Serbia, Armenia, and Norman Italy. No Orthodox church being complete without interior decoration, two papers discuss issues connected to frescoes in late medieval Balkan churches. Finally, one study investigates the continued influence of Byzantine palace architecture long after the fall of Constantinople.
