Well seeing as Byzantine Art really only applies to a style of art in the Byzantine Empire and not the world, one can't really give a definite name to its predecessor. However, Byzantine Art was influenced by art from the Roman Empire (Roman Art).
The Byzantine style of art developed during the early Christian period, particularly from the 4th century AD onwards, following the establishment of Constantinople in 330 AD. This style is characterized by its religious themes, use of gold and vibrant colors, and a focus on iconography. It reached its peak between the 6th and 12th centuries, reflecting the cultural and spiritual values of the Byzantine Empire.
Byzantine art was paid for mostly by emperors and the Orthodox church.
The Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire has been termed Byzantine Empire by historians . Tts art is called Byzantine art. Icons were the most distinctive form of Byzantine art. These were paintings on flat panels, usually made of wood, depicting Christian themes. They were often gilded with golden leaf. The Byzantines developed their own style for mosaics. There was also Byzantine architecture.
