Quick timeline reference from where we left
off:
Byzantine Style (330-1453): o Constantine recognized Christianity as the official religiono At the Fall of Rome – arrangements were made to divide the
Western half (ruled from Rome) and the Eastern half (ruled from Byzantium – later named Constantinople after Constantine)
o Western half fell to barbarian Dark Ageso Eastern art flourished with Christian art – creating a new set of
Christian images and icons (derived though from Greek and Egyptian Art techniques)
o Orthodox Christianity flourished during this timeo Byzantine Style PANEL PAINTINGS:
• Panel painting originally began as a small-scale devotional icon carried and owned by the many.
• Progressed to multi-paneled, hung above an altar called an ALTARPIECE.

PAINTING MEDIUMSo Encaustic Style – using hot beeswax combined
with pigments to apply to surface.o Tempera – another form of painting using egg
yolk blended with water, pigments, & occasionally other materials such as glue.
• 14th century material of choice, velvety sheen – but results in premature cracking & flaking
o Fresco –pigments mixed with water then applied directly onto freshly laid lime-plaster surface.
o Oil –mixing natural oils such as linseed, walnut, or poppy to bind the pigment. Slow dry time allows artists to blend on the surface.
