World History Encyclopedia - Byzantine Art

Byzantine Art (4th - 15th century CE) is generally characterised by a move away from the naturalism of the Classical tradition towards the more abstract and universal, there is a definite preference for two-dimensional representations, and those artworks which contain a religious message predominate. https://www.worldhistory.org/Byzantine_Art/ #History #ByzantineArt #ByzantineCoinage #ByzantineEmpire
