The Byzantine Art Movement was prominent during the 5th Century up til 1453. This art movement was endorsed by the Orthodox Church leading to painted mosaics and frescoes of religious icons (Virgin Mary, Jesus, etc.). These works of art were posted around churches in homage to the reigning Eastern Orthodox religion. However, when Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453, the Byzantine Art form also fell out of favor.
