Late Byzantine Art

Late Byzantine Art began following the sack of Constantinople in 1204 and continued until the fall of Byzantium in 1453.

The Chora Church is decorated with iconic murals and mosaics from the fourteenth century that represent the Late Byzantine artistic styles.

Andrei Rublev is considered the foremost fifteenth century Russian icon painter and the master behind the Old Testament Trinity.

As Late Byzantine painting became more naturalistic, bodies gained mass and figures portrayed humanity with emotion and movement; these developments and traditions continued into the Post-Byzantine age.
