I would suggest also an examination of the 12^th and 13^th century painted crucifixes in Umbria and Tuscany (see esp. the Sozio crucifix in Foligno , the San Damiano crucifix in the Basilica of St. Clare, and the crucifixes by Cimabue and others. [See E. Sandberg Vavala’, La Croce Dipinta Italiana. First published in 1929, reprinted in 1980) Roma: Multigrafica Editrice.] Unfortunately, the photos are all in black and white, with some rather murky.

For people intersted in Western influene on Byzantine art and vice-versa, I recommend the catalogue of the exhibit "The Origins of El Greco: Icon Painting in Venetian Crete" (same title), ed. by Anastasia Drandaki (Oxbow/David Brown) $20.00.
