This book explores the making and meaning of one of the most enigmatic
and singular interior spaces of the Middle Ages, the mosaic incrusted
chamber commonly known as the 'Room of Roger' in the palace of the
Norman kings of Sicily in Palermo. The unique way in which Byzantine
technique, skill and style are blended with Maghribi Islamic perspective
conventions and iconography while producing aesthetic interaction as
well as obvious tension, serves as a starting point for an investigation
of the various currents of artistic exchange and dynastic pretensions
between Palermo, Constantinople, Norman Antioch and the Maghrib.
Political aspirations in the Levant, Almoravid splendour in Fez and
Marrakech, and the ever-present rival, the Byzantine emperor, all come
to play a part in the making of the famous 'Camera di Ruggero'.
