| Abstract | This session treatises on the representations of emperors in Byzantine and Western art. P. Grotowski investigates cases of wrongly arranged visual message in official imperial art. The phenomenon will be investigated on the ground of three examples: emperor Constantius, usurper Isaak I Komnenos, and Andronikos I Komnenos. D. Tabor analyses three Ottonian miniatures with representations of emperors: Otto III and Otto III in the beginnings of gospel books. The author tries to answer to the question on the function and on the meaning of this representations. The paper of K. Nieć presents the series of reliquaries in the form of a bust, which emphasises the presence of a saint. These particular objects probably take their origin from the busts of emperor or from the reliefs of his bust on coins circulated all over Europe. |
