Byzantine Art/Design
Joyce Teoh Mei Kuan | Diploma in Film & TV
The most famous of the surviving Byzantine
mosaics of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople
– the image of Christ Pantocrator on the walls
of the upper southern gallery. The mosaics
were made in the 12th century.
Miniatures of the 6th-
century Rabula Gospel display the
more abstract and symbolic nature
of Byzantine art.
Byzantine Art/Design
Byzantine art was developed out of the art of the Roman Empire,
which was itself profoundly influenced by ancient Greek art.
Byzantine Empire represented the political continuation of the
Roman Empire. Byzantine art never lost sight of this classical
heritage. The Byzantine capital, Constantinople, was adorned with a
large number of classical sculptures, although they eventually
became an object of some puzzlement for its inhabitants. And
indeed, the art produced during the Byzantine Empire, although
marked by periodic revivals of a classical aesthetic, was above all
marked by the development of a new aesthetic.
The subject matter of monumental Byzantine art was primarily
religious and imperial and these two themes are often combined.
These preoccupations are partly a result of the pious and
autocratic nature of Byzantine society, and partly a result of its economic structure: the wealth of
the empire was concentrated in the hands of the church and the imperial office.
However, religious art was not limited to the monumental
decoration of church interiors. One of the most important genres
of Byzantine art was the icon, an image of Christ, the Virgin, or a
saint, used as an object of veneration in Orthodox churches and
private homes alike.
Another major genre of Byzantine art was the illumincation of
manuscripts. The most commonly illustrated texts were religious,
both scripture itself and devotional or theological texts. Secular
texts were also illuminated.
Byzantine art and architecture is divided into four periods by
convention: the Early period, the Middle or high period, the Late
period and the term post-Byzantine which is then used for later
years, whereas Neo-Byzantine is used for art and architecture
from the 19th
century onwards.

Byzantine Art/Design

  • 1. Byzantine Art/Design Joyce Teoh Mei Kuan | Diploma in Film & TV The most famous of the surviving Byzantine mosaics of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople – the image of Christ Pantocrator on the walls of the upper southern gallery. The mosaics were made in the 12th century. Miniatures of the 6th- century Rabula Gospel display the more abstract and symbolic nature of Byzantine art. Byzantine Art/Design Byzantine art was developed out of the art of the Roman Empire, which was itself profoundly influenced by ancient Greek art. Byzantine Empire represented the political continuation of the Roman Empire. Byzantine art never lost sight of this classical heritage. The Byzantine capital, Constantinople, was adorned with a large number of classical sculptures, although they eventually became an object of some puzzlement for its inhabitants. And indeed, the art produced during the Byzantine Empire, although marked by periodic revivals of a classical aesthetic, was above all marked by the development of a new aesthetic. The subject matter of monumental Byzantine art was primarily religious and imperial and these two themes are often combined. These preoccupations are partly a result of the pious and autocratic nature of Byzantine society, and partly a result of its economic structure: the wealth of the empire was concentrated in the hands of the church and the imperial office. However, religious art was not limited to the monumental decoration of church interiors. One of the most important genres of Byzantine art was the icon, an image of Christ, the Virgin, or a saint, used as an object of veneration in Orthodox churches and private homes alike. Another major genre of Byzantine art was the illumincation of manuscripts. The most commonly illustrated texts were religious, both scripture itself and devotional or theological texts. Secular texts were also illuminated. Byzantine art and architecture is divided into four periods by convention: the Early period, the Middle or high period, the Late period and the term post-Byzantine which is then used for later years, whereas Neo-Byzantine is used for art and architecture from the 19th century onwards.
