This magazine is not usually thought of as a source for legal advice, but in the past month we have been contacted by several contributors asking us to explain how the law governing the reproduction of images of works of art has changed as a result of a recent judgment in the Court of Appeal in London.

Africa & Byzantium

Over recent decades the Metropolitan Museum of Art has presented a series of exhibitions that have addressed both Byzantium and its neighbouring cultures: The Glory of Byzantium (1997), Byzantium: Faith and Power (2004) and Byzantium and Islam: Age of Transition (2012). This exhibition, which has been developed in partnership with the Cleveland Museum of Art, adds an important dimension to this continuing conversation by inviting the visitor to look south and to contemplate the visual culture of the Africa that fell under the sway of first Roman and then Byzantine cultural practices.
