A
large portion of the Byzantine artists' names have not survived, because of the
small number of extant works and anonymity manners preventing the signature
works. However, when the recognition of the work male artists' produce is even
very difficult, some of the women artists have been able to achieve today with
the works.

Despite all the
restrictions of Byzantine patriarchal ideology, Byzantine women artists who
produced the textile, copy books, literature, theatre, music and painting,
revolted against the Byzantine ideology by producing works. Despite the low
number of women artists, effective life stories are evidence determination and
power of Byzantine women.

Bizans'ta Kadın Sanatçılar

Öz

Bizans
sanatından günümüze ulaşan eser sayısının azlığı, sanatçıların
eserlerinin altına imzalarını atmalarını engelleyen anonim faaliyet inanışı;
Bizanslı sanatçı isimlerinin büyük bir kısmının günümüze ulaşmasını neredeyse
imkansız hale getirmiştir. Bununla birlikte; erkek sanatçıların bile eserleri
ile anılmalarının çok zor olduğu bir toplumda, bazı kadın sanatçılar eserleri
ile birlikte günümüze ulaşmayı başarmışlardır.

Tekstil, kitap kopyalama, edebiyat, gösteri
sanatları, müzik ve resim sanatı gibi sanat dallarında ürün
veren Bizanslı kadın sanatçılar, tüm kısıtlamalara rağmen eserlerini üreterek,
kadınları evlerine hapseden ataerkil Bizans ideolojisine başkaldırmışlardır.
Sayılarının az olmasına karşılık etkili hayat hikâyeleri Bizanslı kadınların
azmini ve gücünü kanıtlar niteliktedir.
