  1. Required Daily: How does Early Christian and Byzantine portraiture represent both a continuation of and a break from the past? Look up the Fayum Portraits and the Ravenna Portrait of Justinian as a starting point for your thinking.


The difference between the old art and new art is the improved use of the third dimension. The new art seems like It has been done by more professional artist who also incorporate shadow and human anatomy. The new art is in my opinion is the art is more realistic and better representing the human body. The art also carries on some of the old tradition like what the pictures were of, most pictures depict a single person or a scene of battle.
