The materials science aspects of the iconography are detailed and well documented. The book covers techniques and methods from the early history of iconography and connects them with relatively modern techniques such as icons painted on glass. The text covers also the cultural framework in which the iconography evolved at the confluence of East and West.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A valuable contribution to the specialized art history topic of iconographyBy CustomerThis small; readable volume goes far toward filling a void in the discussion of a subject which has received little notice in the field of art history; that is; the art and craft of religious iconography as practiced in the Orthodox Christian regions of Europe. Also; the numerous reference citations provide valuable directions for further exploration of this under-reported subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A captivating book!By Antonescu RodicaI greatly enjoyed this captivating and intelligent book! The touch of grace that illuminates the Romanian icons is a combination of faith and exquisite craftsmanship. The book acknowledges the former and skillfully analyses the latter.
