Byzantine art refers to the art of the Byzantine Empire from the 4th to the 13th century. In the more than a thousand years that this art form developed, it shows an amalgamation of ancient Greek and Roman art combined with oriental influences.
Byzantine art was in the service of faith and was widely used in early Christian churches with the application of religious mosaics and later frescoes and icons. Artists depict mainly stories off from the life of Jesus.
