Byzantine art was strongly influenced by the cultural and religious context of the Eastern Roman Empire, particularly its emphasis on Christianity. The desire to convey spiritual truths and divine beauty led to the development of distinctive styles characterized by flat, two-dimensional figures, rich colors, and elaborate mosaics. Additionally, the blending of classical Roman elements with Eastern artistic traditions fostered a unique visual language that emphasized iconography and symbolism, serving both liturgical and decorative purposes. This synthesis reflected the empire's diverse influences and its role as a bridge between Europe and Asia.
