Italo-Byzantine style refers to a distinctive art movement that emerged in Italy during the late medieval period, blending elements of Byzantine art with Italian influences. Characterized by its use of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and religious themes, this style is often seen in frescoes, mosaics, and panel paintings. Italo-Byzantine art emphasizes flatness, a lack of perspective, and stylized figures, reflecting both the spiritual nature of its subjects and the cultural exchange between the Byzantine Empire and Italy. Notable examples include works from artists like Duccio and Cimabue, who played a significant role in its development.
Byzantine artist favored the hieratic style because religious figures were not real, therefore it makes sense to portray them in a non-naturalistic manner. This style was not iconic. It could exist to the iconoclastic Byzantine Period.

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.
In Byzantine religious paintings, the representation of the human form are more symbolic than lifelike. They do not use perspective and therefore do not look three-dimensional.
Giotto introduced naturalism in his paintings by depicting figures with more three-dimensional aspects and greater emotional expression, departing from the flat and stylized figures of the Italo-Byzantine style. Additionally, he focused on creating more realistic landscapes and architectural settings, adding depth and perspective to his compositions.
