Christian art and Byzantine art

                                   


Christian Art was about the Christianity was legalized by Emperor Constantine. This era produced in an attempt to illustrate, supplement and portray in tangible form the principles of Christianity.Christians had to paint pictures with christian meaning inside the catacombs. Catacombs were christian were praising under the tombs because they weren;t able to praise the other Gods when Constantine is not the emperor. Byzantine art is the artistic products of the Eastern Roman, or Byzantine, Empire, as well as the nations and states that inherited culturally from the empire. Their form of art is idealism and their subject matter was about Christianity. In this era many churches, cathedrals and basilicas were made by christians because they were accepted by the emperor. Many cathedrals, church and basilicas were rebuild and repair because of oldness.
