We are pleased to highlight an upcoming event in the Late Antique and Byzantine Art and Architecture lecture series, hosted by the Institute of Sacred Music (ISM) at Yale University.
This series, organised in collaboration with the Yale Departments of Classics and History of Art, continues its tradition of bringing world-class scholarship to a global audience via Zoom.
The Lecture: Painting in the Margins: Intervisuality (and Intertextuality) in Byzantine Manuscripts, 9th-12th Century
- Speaker: Leslie Brubaker (University of Birmingham, emerita)
- Respondent: Magdalene Breidenthal (Fordham University)
Professor Brubaker is a leading authority on the visual culture of Byzantium. This session will explore the complex relationships between text and image within the borders of Byzantine manuscripts, examining how “marginal” paintings functioned not merely as decoration, but as sophisticated tools for intervisuality and intertextuality during the middle Byzantine period.
