DESCRIPTION

192 pp. English text in two columns, cloth in d/w, biblio, 200 b/w illustrations, 9 in colour, index, copy new in mint condition. ISBN: 0500231826 Even to their admires, icons have remained something of a mystery, perhaps because of the difficulty of assigning them to particular schools and periods, and of distinguishing the hands of individual painters. In this book, two leading authorities, Tamara talbot Rice and the late David Talbot Rice, have made an essential contribution to the study o icons, which is still in its infancy although interest in the subject has never been greater.
