“A devotion to Byzantium”
The article is a tribute to Harvard art historian Ernst Kitzinger, celebrating his retirement after forty-five years of service. It includes a small black-and-white photograph of Kitzinger, a bearded older gentleman in a suit, seated and wearing glasses.
The text highlights his contributions to Byzantine art scholarship, his curation of major exhibitions (including “Byzantine Art in the Making”), and his role in bringing Byzantine artifacts to the public. It also mentions his controversial protest over the loan of the Book of Kells and the Book of Durrow to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which he viewed as risking precious manuscripts for the sake of public spectacle rather than scholarly benefit. Kitzinger is portrayed as a scholar deeply committed to both academic rigor and the preservation of cultural heritage.

The prints are described as “Ukiyo-e”—a genre depicting transient, everyday scenes of urban life in 18th–19th century Japan.
