Donor Portraits in Byzantine Art

Beschreibung

Argues that donor portraits in Byzantine art should instead be considered as contact portraits. Contends that the most important feature of the scenes of supplication between mortals and holy, supernatural interlocutors consists in the active role that they play within the belief systems of the supplicants.
