Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47416-0 — Hell in the Byzantine World Volume 2: A Catalogue of the Cretan Material Frontmatter More Information Hell in the Byzantine World The imagery of Hell, the Christian account of the permanent destina- tions of the human soul after death, has fascinated people over the centuries since the emergence of the Christian faith. These landmark volumes provide the first large-scale investigation of this imagery found across the Byzantine and post-Byzantine world. Particular emphasis is placed on images from churches across Venetian Crete, which are comprehensively collected and published for the first time. Crete was at the centre of artistic production in the late Byzantine world and beyond, and its imagery was highly influential on tradi- tions in other regions. The Cretan examples accompany rich com- parative material from the wider Mediterranean – Cappadocia, Macedonia, the Peloponnese and Cyprus. The large amount of data presented in this publication highlights Hell’s emergence in monu- mental painting not as a concrete array of images, but as a diversified mirroring of social perceptions of sin. angeliki lymberopoulou is Senior Lecturer in Art History at The Open University. She is the author of The Church of the Archangel Michael at Kavalariana: Art and Society on Fourteenth- Century Venetian-Dominated Crete (2006) and the editor of Cross- Cultural Interaction between Byzantium and the West 1204–1669: Whose Mediterranean is it Anyway?
