Early Christian Iconography: And a School of Ivory Carvers in Provence (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Early Christian Iconography: And a School of Ivory Carvers in Provence
The solution of the problem can only come when archaeologists agree on the characteristics, the boundaries, and the limitations of the different artistic centres. At present the monuments, after the Hellenistic period, are variously assigned to Constantinople, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Upper Egypt, and the eclectic school of Ravenna. In many cases they are also attributed in a general way to broader divisions, syro-anatolian, syro-palestinian, syro-egyptian, and palestinian-coptic; and in the West, which the Orient soon invaded, minor places, as Milan and Monza, are cited as productive. From these possibilities each authority, after his own conception of their character and in many cases after his own intuition, has built up by attribution his own set of schools. Unless, therefore, the student treads carefully through this maze, the result can only be greater chaos.
