Larmann, M. Kathryn Shields Byzantine Terms Art and Architecture • Good Shepherd imagery: blended depictions of a Christ- like figure that merged pagan figural styles with Early Christian meaning. • Iconoclasm: literally translates as “image breaking”; a period of the destruction of religious imagery for fear of idolatry. • Mandorla: an almond-shaped enclosure encircling depictions of Christ. • Mosaic: patterns or pictures made by embedding small pieces (tesserae) of stone or glass in cement on surfaces such as walls and floors. • Orants: figural depictions of worshippers, denoted by their raised, outstretched arms. 3 Samuel anoints David, detail of the mural paintings in the syna-gogue, Syria, ca. 245–256.

Iconoclasm refers to two periods when the use of religious images/icons were opposed by religious authorities within the Byzantine Church. The "First Iconoclasm“ lasted between about 726 - 787. The "Second Iconoclasm" between 814 - 842. Iconoclasm constituted a ban on religious images and was accompanied by destruction of images and persecution of supporters venerating these images. The Roman Catholic Church of the West supported of the use of images throughout the period, widening the gulf between the Eastern and Western traditions, facilitating the reduction or removal of Byzantine political control over parts of Italy. 23 Virgin and Child between Saints Theodore and George, icon, sixth or early seventh century.

    Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By

    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

Abstract Rare and precious window elements from the Paleochristian Basilica of Saint Sabina in Rome, made of plaster gypsum with translucent selenite used as glass for light transmission, were discovered by Antonio Muñoz during the restoration of the building at the beginning of the 20th c. Originally standing within the stone window frame, were then mounted on wood planks with screws for holding together the scattered fragments. The surfaces were covered with grime and the selenite elements were blinded by the wooden supports. During the recent conservation treatment at ISCR, traces of Egyptian blue on the internal surfaces were detected.

  • Giovanni Battista Contini

    Giovanni Battista Contini

    Giovanni Battista Contini Italian architect of the Late Baroque period (1641-1723) Son of Francesco and Agata Baronio was born in Rome on May 7, 1642. He had the first training of an architect by his father who "nobility educated him and sent to all the schools to which the nobles were subjected", but he also perfected under Gian Lorenzo Bernini. He was so attached to the great master that he would assist him to death and to have a portrait of him "printed on canvas with black frame". The first important commission of CONTINI to be known seems to be the erection of the catafalco for Alexander VII (1667). arrived through Bernini. In Rome, in addition to carrying out practical duties such as those of measuring and architect of the Apostolic Chamber and Architect of the Virgin Water, in which he succeeded Bernini (1681-1723), he dedicated himself particularly to the erection of family chapels and altars; but his main activity soon moved to different places and often far from Rome, and yet in the papal state. Three years after the death of Bemini, in 1683, CONTINI became principal of the Accademia di S. Luca, succeeding Luigi Garzi in a prestigious duty function as indicative of the professional stature he had reached at that time. In the Academy, however, he was disappointed, demonstrating in a way too obvious that his interest focused on practicing the profession. In 1696 he was judged in the banned competition on the occasion of the first centenary of the Academy, but no other activities for this institution were known until 1702, when he worked as an instructor Along with Francesco Fontana, Sebastiano Cipriani, Carlo Buratti and Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri.
