Essays on the chronology and interpretation of the Byzantine mosaics of Thessaloniki.

Thessaloniki contains the finest collection of surviving Byzantine mosaics in any one city. Made over the course of a millennium between the fourth and the fourteenth century, they show the dynamism and longevity of the medium throughout the life of the Byzantine Empire. Yet despite the quantity and quality of the mosaics in Thessaloniki, they have remained relatively unknown compared with the mosaics elsewhere in Greece and in Constantinople.

Controversy and debate have surrounded the dating, function and meaning of many of the monuments and their mosaics.  These issues, of the chronology of the monuments and the meanings of their mosaics, form the focus of The Mosaics of Thessaloniki Revisited.

Also published by Kapon Editions: Mosaics of Thessaloniki, 4th–14th century (2012) documents and illustrates the huge range of Thessaloniki’s mosaics that are now accessible and visible to all, however distant or hidden their locations in each church.
