Robin Cormack discusses the changing views of Byzantine art and architecture from the late 19th century onwards.
This presentation focuses on changing views of Byzantine art and architecture from the late 19th century onwards. It is in two parts. The first looks at the methodology of a group of British Arts & Crafts young architects who recorded monuments in Greece between 1889 and 1912, and especially it emphasizes the importance of the work of Robert Weir Schultz (1860–1951). The second part covers some of the mature works of these architects and asks how they interpreted Byzantium through their own buildings. This talk will be broadcast live on Zoom as well.
