这本由中世纪亚美尼亚历史与文化领域顶尖学者撰写的著作，深入探讨了亚美尼亚的艺术、贸易以及宗教传统。

 

本书中的论文首次在国际研讨会上发表，该研讨会是为了庆祝大都会艺术博物馆2018年轰动一时的展览“亚美尼亚！”而举办的。这些论文深入探索了亚美尼亚文明的艺术与文化，该文明位于东西方交界处的关键枢纽地带。论文作者们探讨了亚美尼亚在促进与东方的蒙古帝国、奥斯曼帝国和波斯帝国，以及与西方的拜占庭帝国和欧洲十字军国家之间的交流中所扮演的角色。文章还深入研究了这些文化元素如何在亚美尼亚艺术和宗教中融合——亚美尼亚的艺术家和工匠们创作了一系列令人惊叹的宗教物品，这些物品融合了来自欧洲和亚洲的影响，但最终形成了独特的亚美尼亚视觉风格。作者们探讨了这种二元张力在亚美尼亚艺术史中的影响，以及它如何持续至今，因为这片位于文明交汇处的土地仍在努力应对种族灭绝的遗产，并抵抗对其主权、完整和文化语言的新威胁。

 

Featuring texts by leading scholars of the history and culture of medieval Armenia, this book offers an in-depth look at its art, trade, and religious traditions

 

The papers in this volume, first presented at an international symposium celebrating The Met’s blockbuster 2018 exhibition, Armenia!, explore the art and culture of a civilization that served as a pivotal crossroads on the border between East and West. Contributors address Armenia’s roles in facilitating exchange with the Mongol, Ottoman, and Persian empires to the East and with Byzantium and European Crusader states to the West. Essays also explore the ways in which elements of these cultures commingled in Armenian art and religion—Armenian artists and craftspeople produced an astonishing range of religious objects that drew upon influences from both Europe and Asia but ultimately created a uniquely Armenian visual identity. The authors explore the effects of this dualistic tension in the history of Armenian art and how it persists into the present, as this land situated at a crossroads of civilization continues to grapple with the legacy of genocide and counters new threats to its sovereignty, integrity, and cultural language.
