Late Antique Portraits and Early Christian Icons

The Power of the Painted Gaze

This book focuses on the earliest surviving Christian icons, dated to the sixth and seventh centuries, which resemble three other well-established genres of 'sacred portrait' also produced during late antiquity, namely Roman imperial portraiture, Greco-Egyptian funerary portraiture and panel-paintings depicting non-Christian deities.
