The Visual Culture of Late Byzantium and the Early Modern Orthodox World (c.1350-c.1669)

Justin Willson, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Art History Leadership, received a contract for Volume 4 in the series “Sources in Byzantine Art History,” entitled The Visual Culture of Late Byzantium and the Early Modern Orthodox World (c.1350-c.1669) (Cambridge University Press, 2028). This expansive project will provide introductions, editions, and translations of the texts necessary for understanding the fate of Orthodox art in the Early Modern era. This was an intellectually vibrant world, stretching across and beyond the Ottoman empire, encompassing the Caucuses in the east, Ethiopia in the south, the Venetian stronghold of Crete in the west, and Moscow in the north.
