Egyptian Artists in the Late Antique and Early Islamic Mediterranean. Selected papers by Mab van Lohuizen-Mulder

A pioneering re-evaluation of Egyptian artists' contributions to Late Antique and Early Islamic Mediterranean art, particularly during the Umayyad period. The work highlights the significant role of traveling Egyptian mosaicists, painters, stone carvers, and stucco workers in decorating iconic structures such as San Vitale (Ravenna), Qusayr Amra, and the Great Mosque of Damascus, challenging traditional narratives that often overlooked their influence. Through a compilation of Mab van Lohuizen-Mulder's seminal articles from the 1980s and 1990s, this book provides new high-resolution imagery and synthesizes recent scholarship to contextualize the mobility and exchange of artistic traditions across the Mediterranean. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the cultural and artistic interactions that defined this transformative period.
