Byzantine painting, as exemplified in the "Enthroned Madonna and Child," is characterized by its use of rich colors and gold backgrounds, which create a sense of divine radiance. Figures are often depicted with elongated proportions and a frontal orientation, emphasizing their spiritual significance rather than naturalism. The use of hierarchical scale highlights the importance of the Madonna and Child in the composition, while the flatness of the forms and the lack of perspective convey a sense of otherworldliness. Additionally, the incorporation of icons and religious symbolism reinforces the artwork's devotional purpose.
