"Per ricostruire questo pezzo di storia Kitzinger ha dovuto estrarre il massimo da ogni frammento superstite, ridiscutere date e attribuzioni, impiantare una nuova fisionomia dell'arte bizantina. Ed ecco la conclusione inaspettata e davvero la pittura alta vigilia dell'iconoclastia non è innocente dinanzi alla reazione che ha tentato di sopprimerla. È anzi la maturità stilistica del tema dell'icona, è il suo isolamento rispetto a tutte le altre esperienze estetiche con cui l'uomo bizantino si confronta, che porta allo "scandalo" dell'icona contro cui reagiscono gli iconoclasti. Direi che qui è trasparente, anche se non dichiarata, la riflessione sull'arte del nostro secolo e il riconoscimento alle opere d'arte di una loro capacità provocatoria. Nessun altro storico aveva tentato di riportare con tanta urgenza il discorso sulle icone all'ambito della pittura". Dalla presentazione di Carlo Bertelli.

Studies in Late Antique, Byzantine and Medieval Western Art, Volume 2: Studies in Medieval Western Art and the Art of Norman Sicily

Over the past sixty-five years Ernst Kitzinger has been one of the foremost interpreters of the art of Late Antiquity, Byzantium and the medieval West. Beginning with his "influential doctoral dissertation, reprinted here, on early medieval painting in the city of Rome, where western and eastern Byzantine traditions met, one of his principal concerns has been the movement and exchange of artistic ideas and patterns around the Mediterranean. Painting and mosaics have always been central to his enquiry. One focus has been the mosaics of Norman Sicily, on which he has published numerous ground-breaking books and papers. All of Professor Kitzinger's essays on Norman Sicily are included here. Other areas in which he has made outstanding contributions are the arts of Late Antiquity, with a particular emphasis on floor mosaics, medieval Rome, Byzantium in the early and high Middle Ages, and the arts of Anglo-Saxon England. These two volumes include all of Professor Kitzinger's major essays, apart from an earlier selection reprinted in 1975. Each has a new preface by Professor Kitzinger, and comes with a comprehensive index.
