For over a thousand years, from the fourth century until the Ottoman conquest in 1453, the art of mosaic formed an integral part of the decoration of monumental buildings in Constantinople.
Ancient sources mention the mosaic floors that decorated the palaces of Byzantine emperors and they refer also to the teams of mosaic makers who traveled from Constantinople to various parts of the empire, sometimes taking with them the materials they needed. The remains of a mosaic floor of the Great Palace of Constantinople, gives some idea of the superb craftsmanship of these mosaics.
This volume brings together a very large part of the surviving mosaics in Istanbul. The 93 panels and pictures are from the Great Palace, Hagia Sophia, Virgin Pammakaristos, Saint Savior in Chora, and the Istanbul Archaeological Museum.
