About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from American Journal of Archaeology, Vol. 26 Modern art may be considered to have begun with the Byzantine renaissance of the tenth century. This outburst of artistic activity seems to have spread from the East over Europe. Before the year 1000 renewed artistic activity appears sporadically in several widely separated regions of the West. In Spain architecture rose during the tenth century to extraordinary heights; capitals were carved with surprising skill in the Rhone valley, as in the crypt of Cruas or the baptistry of Venasque; while in Germany the Ottoman miniatures and ivories developed types of such beauty, that they impressed indelibly the memory of the twelfth century sculptors of France, and still serve as models to artists of today. By the eleventh century, the renaissance had enflamed the entire continent of Europe. In the East, figure sculpture was applied to the exterior of churches apparently as early as the seventh century, certainly from the time of the tenth century renaissance. The church of Achthamar in Armenia, a dated monument of 915-921 is adorned with sculptures which seem to indicate an Eastern derivation for many of the later developments in the West. Not only is the fact of monumental sculpture in stone here foreshadowed, but here are found numerous details which have become characteristic of occidental sculpture of the twelfth century.
