This review is from: Revelations of the Byzantine World: The Painted Churches and Monasteries (Hardcover)

Revelations Of Byzantium: The Monasteries And Painted Churches Of Northern Moldavia by Alan Ogden (with an historical introduction by Kurt W. Treptown and enhanced with original illustrations by Octavian Ion Penda), is an impressive and informative survey of the architecture and artwork of Moldavian religious institutions dating back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Splendid full-color photography offers compelling visual testimony of the grandeur and faith behind these stunning works of architecture and their impressive interior murals. The informed and "reader friendly" text offers both historical and critical background of the religious institutions and their remarkable artworks. Revelations Of Byzantium is a strongly recommended contribution to personal, professional, and academic Architectural History reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
