Book Synopsis Ethiopian Icons by : Addis Ababa University. Institute of Ethiopian Studies
Book excerpt: By virtue of its geographic situation, the art of Ethiopia belongs to Africa, however its development was inevitably shaped by historical events. As a result, it is closely linked to models derived from the artistic traditions of Byzantium, and also incorporates elements of Islamic culture and those originating in the Indian sub-continent. The volume presents a comprehensive catalogue of the exceptional collection of paintings on wood belonging to the Institute of Ethiopian Studies in Addis Ababa.
