• Resumen

  • Part of a special issue devoted to Medieval art from the Mediterranean basin. Two major phases marked changes in the iconography of Christ in the Orient and Occident between the 9th and the 13th century. Up until about the middle of the 12th century, there was the consolidation of the Maiestas Christi in an iconography largely inspired by Saint John's apocalyptic vision. Then around 1130–40, the iconography of Christ was reformulated into the dominant aspect of Christ as Judge and Redeemer. During these two principal moments, in an uninterrupted dialog comprising constant exchanges and borrowings, Byzantine art played a major role.
