The early Christian art of Egypt represents a rich and diverse artistic tradition. This book is a synthetic and interpretative study of Christian art from its origins within Greek, Roman and Byzantine traditions, to the formation of a flourishing and distinctive Coptic iconography that appeared unhindered by the theological and dogmatic conflicts that beset Christianity. Mahmoud Zibawi takes the reader through Coptic-Byzantine and Coptic-Arabic traditions, through elements of artistic style and subject matter, arriving at the Ottoman period and the abandonment of the decorative mural which had for so long been the mainstay of Coptic iconography.
