Basileios (Basil) II of the Macedonian Dynasty (r. 960-1025CE), sometimes called 'the Bulgar Slayer', is the most likely candidate. A capable administrator and military leader, he expanded the borders of the Byzantine Empire to their greatest extent (ignoring the later annexation of Armenia), curbed the power of the great land magnates, amassed roughly two years total revenue worth of coinage as surplus in the treasury, and left a powerful army utterly loyal to his line.

a king's greatness is measured by his warriors' courage.

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.

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 Empire blocked Abbasid expansion to the northwest. The Abbasid Caliphate, based in Baghdad, sought to expand its territory in various directions, including towards the northwest. However, the Byzantine Empire, with its strong military and strategic position, effectively prevented the Abbasids from expanding further in that direction. This geopolitical barrier played a significant role in shaping the boundaries and influence of both empires during that time period.
The Golden Age of the Byzantine Empire is the period from about 641 to 1025. There were various advances in military strength, religious influence, and the arts during this time.
