Description:
Author: Nilay Yilmaz
ISBN: 975719946X
Publisher: A Turizm Yayinlan Ltd., 2000

This is the first volume which brings together a considerable number of icons kept in the major museums and the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Turkey. At the time that it was published, all of the icons in this book, except those in the Ayasofya Museum, were on display. In assembling this collection no effort has been made to reach the icons owned by private collectors or individual pieces kept in other museums and churches. The book includes descriptions of most of these icons. However, no attempt is made to place any of them in the stylistic or the iconographic history of Byzantine art. Also, since the icons included from the Ayasofya Museum have neither been cleaned nor seen many restoration, pictures may not reflect their original colours.
Icons in Turkey contains 86 icons with descriptions from the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, Ayasofya Museum, Antalya Archaelogical Museum, Sinop Museum and Tokat Museum.
