Byzantium in Eastern European Visual Culture in the Late Middle Ages, edited by Maria Alessia Rossi and Alice Isabella Sullivan, engages with issues of cultural contact and patronage, as well as the transformation and appropriation of Byzantine artistic, theological, and political models, alongside local traditions, across Eastern Europe. The regions of the Balkan Peninsula, the Carpathian Mountains, and early modern Russia have been treated in scholarship within limited frameworks or excluded altogether from art historical conversations. This volume encourages different readings of the artistic landscapes of Eastern Europe during the late medieval period, highlighting the cultural and artistic productions of individual centers. These ought to be considered individually and as part of larger networks, thus revealing their shared heritage and indebtedness to artistic and cultural models adopted from elsewhere, and especially from Byzantium.

"The significance of this collection and of its constitutive papers is reflected in the comprehensive and methodologically innovative way in which it approaches the given topics, looking at them from a long-term perspective, and thus bringing them closer to the modern scholar. The analyzed phenomena are examined from a broad geographical and chronological perspective, which effectively erases the traditional boundaries in the study of medieval art. In other words, this collection looks in an "organic" way at the whole of the analyzed artistic material, unhindered by national frameworks". (translated from Serbian). Andjela Gavrilovic. "This is a volume worth reading. Scholars unfamiliar with the late medieval visual culture of the Balkan Peninsula, the Carpathian Mountains, and Russia stand to learn a great deal about a range of little-known yet highly significant artifacts and monuments that often defy scholarly taxonomies. Those already initiated are likely to find themselves questioning many idées reçues."Ivan Drpić, University of Pennsylvania, in: Speculum 98/1 (January 2023), p. 327
