Byzantine Art

Byzantine Art was one of the themes chosen to be studied in the Club for Spring 2021.

It was really challenging cover 1000 years in short amount of time and with some technical issues. Phew! We focused more in the characteristics of Byzantine Art, showing some paintings, mosaics, ceramics and enameled pieces.
