| Description | The first part on the contribution examines some Byzantine pictorial decorations of the 11th century in Cappadocia and in the Greek Islands, in order to show the wide circulation of models from Constantinople and their adaptation in the specific local contexts. The second and main part of the contribution focuses on the paintings and mosaics realized in the 12th century in the Nativity Church in Bethlehem, as a highly relevant example of interaction of different artistic cultures in the Mediterranean horizon. |
