The Byzantine Empire existed for more than 1,000 years and occupied much of the Mediterranean region. It was a Christian empire and its art reflected the people’s devotion to Christianity. Byzantine artists expressed their devotion to God, Mary and Christ in golden paintings, called icons, and in mosaics of the sacred and secular rulers set on golden backgrounds. In this talk we will take a brief look at the history of the empire and study the beauty of the art.
