Discuss the different periods of Byzantine art and what each period was known for.
Answer (1)
Byzantine art is categorized into three main periods: Early Byzantine (c. 330-726), known for its mosaics; Middle Byzantine (c. 843-1261), famous for icon painting; and Late Byzantine (c. 1261-1453), marked by a fusion of styles post-Constantinople's fall. Each period reflects significant cultural and artistic shifts within the Byzantine Empire. Art served as a vital expression of faith and identity throughout these periods. ;
