Saints and Spectacle ventures into the world of ninth- and tenth-century Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, to recapture the spirit of Byzantine thought and expression after Iconoclasm. Texts, artworks, and the archaeological record aid in reconstructing the visual and literary context of the age of the first rulers of the Macedonian Dynasty |
