Themes in Byzantine Art
Always admired
and imitated, Byzantine art not only set surpassing standards for craftsmanship
but it also reflected the splendor and prestige of its court and church,
which were often intertwined in Byzantine society and culture.
This "glory"
of the Byzantium was not confined within political boundaries of the Byzantine
Empire but had far-reaching political and cultural influences in all directions.
