• TRANSLATED BYZANTINE MOSAIC
  TRANSLATED BYZANTINE MOSAIC GEOMETRIC MOTIF W/ CROSSNear East or Europe, Byzantine / Early Christian Period, possibly southern Spain, ca. 6th to 7th century CE. A riveting mosaic presenting an elaborate, abstract pattern surrounding a central Greek cross with an inscription, all meticulously delineated in ochre, emerald, black, white, powder blue, and scarlet stone tesserae. Hypnotizingly complex, the decorative program consists of a central Greek cross with several multi-colored borders surrounded by an intricate design of concentric squares within a meander motif. The top of the mosaic is embellished with 2 lines of Greek script, which translate to, "Everything here is [the work of] Bishop Isidore / The fount of glory, the good leader." Size: 80" W x 60" H (203.2 cm x 152.4 cm) Considering the inclusion of the central cross motif, this mosaic would have decorated a church. Its inscription is perhaps a reference to Archbishop Isidore of Seville (560 to 636 CE), who was a Spanish scholar and cleric credited with the conversion of the Arian Visigothic kings to Christianity through assimilation and the resources of education. With this in mind, this example could have once decorated a church constructed by newly-converted Visigoths, who credited Bishop Isidore with their newfound religiosity - hence stating that "everything here is [the work of] Bishop Isidore." The mosaic may have then been removed from the Visigothic church during the Umayyad conquest of Hispania of 711 CE. Mosaics (opus tesellatum) are some of our enduring images from the Byzantine world, not only for their aesthetic beauty, but also because they reveal what Byzantine people chose to depict and see every day decorating their private and public spaces. Though evolved from Hellenistic and Roman styles, mosaics were developed into a unique and powerful form of personal and religious art under the Byzantine empire, thus exerting a strong influence on the Islamic art created in Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates, as well as the Ottoman Empire.

• PAIR OF HUGE BYZANTINE STONE
  PAIR OF HUGE BYZANTINE STONE MOSAICS W/ GEOMETRIC MOTIF...Near Eastern, Eastern Empire, Early Byzantine Period, ca. 7th century CE. An opulent pair of ornamental floor or wall mosaics, each of a massive, rectangular form and featuring an ornate design delineated in thousands of square, rectangular, and triangular stone tesserae of mauve, citron, white, and black hues. Both panels boast identical, intricate motifs comprised of intersecting circles forming quatrefoils and stylized crosslets. The petal of each flower is adorned by a yellow square containing 5 black tesserae, while the field between each flower displays a white square with concave peripheries and a black quatrefoil inside. Size of largest mosaic (both about the same): 35.3" W x 70.7" H (89.7 cm x 179.6 cm); Size of largest frame (both about the same): 37.6" W x 73.8" H (95.5 cm x 187.5 cm) Mosaics (opus tesellatum) are some of our enduring images from the Roman world, not only for their aesthetic beauty, but also because they reveal what Romans chose to depict and see every day decorating their private and public spaces. This example is abstract in its intention and presents the ancients' keen eye for design and fascination with geometry. In the Roman province of Syria, which encompassed most of the ancient Near East/Levant, mosaics seem to have developed as a popular art form relatively late, with most finds coming from the 3rd century CE or later. Syria was one of Rome's wealthiest provinces, but it was also far removed from Rome itself and Roman culture was overlaid on enduring cultural traditions from Hellenistic Greece and the great civilizations that came before it. For example, Antioch-on-the-Orontes (modern day Antakya, Turkey), was the capital of northern Roman Syria, and its excavations in the 1930s revealed more than three hundred mosaic pavements. Popular mosaic themes from this region were often mythological or religious scenes, depicting gods and goddesses; however, sometimes mosaics were created to fit the theme of a building or room. The geometric pattern of intersecting circles seen in these examples was tremendously popular throughout the Eastern Empire. According to archeologist Zeidoun Al-Muheisen and art historian Mohammad Nassar, "The intersecting circles motif became widespread in Jordan during the Byzantine period. One example is in the southern intercolumniation and the southern aisle of the nearby Khirbet al-Bediyeh church (640). A similar example is at Madaba, in the north intercolumnar panel of the church of the Apostles (578). Others are in the north aisle of the church of Bishop Leontios at Ya'amun at Rehab in the apse of the church of Saint Menas (635), and at Gerasa in the chancel of the Bishop Marianus chapel (570). This motif too is a good deal older, found in the Hellenistic period and common throughout the Roman period. One example is in the Hospitalia of Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli (118). Others are in Turkey: one is in Terrace House 2 at Ephesus (late III/early IV). Three are at Aphrodisias: in the Basilica (365–380), where the intersecting circles are dark blue and the quatrefoils are white and yellow with white, while the crosslet on the central curvilinear is dark blue; in the North Room of the Temenos Complex (350–375), where again the central quatrefoils are decorated with crosslets similar to those at Ras ed-Deir; and in Room 5 of the Priest’s House (mid-V), where the centers of the quatrefoils have small crosslets."
