Elizabeth S. Bolman is professor of art history at the Tyler School of Art, Temple University.
“Like the discovery of the Great Palace mosaics of Constantinople
or the icons of Mount Sinai, Elizabeth Bolman's discovery of
the Red Monastery paintings changes the face of Late Antique
art. We are confronted now with the largest single
unified program of Church decoration of the first millennium,
with graceful figures articulating a sophisticated theological
message that Bolman presents with masterful clarity.”—Thomas F.
Mathews, author of The Clash of Gods: A Reinterpretation of Early
Christian Art
*Thomas F. Mathews*
"This enthralling book makes the exquisite, hitherto unknown Late
Antique paintings of this Coptic monastery accessible and immediate
with the world-changing jolts that very fine art history can still
provide."—Glenn Peers, University of Texas at Austin
*Glenn Peers*
"This sumptuously illustrated volume will greatly advance the study
of early monasticism and early Christian architecture."—David
Frankfurter, Boston University
*David Frankfurter*
“[In this] splendidly produced volume, Elizabeth Bolman presents
the results of the restoration work carried out by the American
Research Center in Egypt at the Red Monastery. . . . The result, in
Bolman’s justifiably proud words, is a ‘staggering
spectacle.’”—Peter Brown, New York Review of Books
*New York Review of Books*
