1 CHAPTER 12 Can you describe the typical Byzantine church (plan, elevation and ornamentation) and explain how it changed from the Early to Late Byzantine period? Can you explain how pendentives and squinches function, and what they contributed to a building s overall appearance? Do you have definitions for all of the terms introduced in this chapter? Can you describe and analyze the formal and iconographic characteristics of Early, Middle, and Late Byzantine images? Can you list the media employed by visual artists? Can you discuss the subjects popular in Byzantine art? If presented with an unknown work, could you identify elements reflecting the persistence of classical style and iconography? Could you compare the function of an icon to the function of Early Christian religious images? 12 ROME IN THE EAST THE ART OF BYZANTIUM TEXT PAGES What city functioned as the center for the Byzantine Empire? 2. Who in the Byzantine world was considered to be Christ s vicar on earth? How did this belief affect the political and religious structure of the Eastern Empire? EARLY BYZANTNE ART ( ) 1.

Draw sketches if you like. 5. Briefly describe the plan and structure of San Vitale at Ravenna (FIGS to 12-9): 6. Who were Justinian and Theodora and what is the subject of the mosaics in which they are represented in the apse of San Vitale (FIGS and 12-11)? What does Justinian's halo signify? What explanation is given for the curious overlapping of Justinian and Maximianus? 7.

5 3. List three hallmarks of the style of Andrei Rublyev. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Discuss the development of pictorial form from Roman illusionism to Byzantine pattern, noting the changes that you see in the treatment of the spacial setting and the solidity of the human body. Consider the Dionysiac frieze (FIG ), Christ as the Good Shepherd (FIG ), The Miracle of the Loaves and the Fishes (FIG ), and the mosaic of Sant' Apollinare in Classe (FIG ). 2.

In what way are these buildings related to each other and in what ways is each different? 5. Compare the scenes from the Paris Psalter (FIG ) and Rublev's Old Testament Trinity (FIG ) with the classical painting from the Ixion Room in Pompeii (FIG ). What similarities and differences do you see? Note the way space is depicted and the way the figures are modeled. What features of the Paris Psalter show the influence of classical painting? 6. Discuss the influence that the 3 rd century frescoes of Dura Europas (Chapter 11) had on Byzantine Art. Identify three features in examples from both periods citing specific examples. RESEARCHING, LOOKING CAREFULLY, AND ANALYSING Write at least two pages in your analysis of the Anastasis fresco shown on FIG The important thing about doing an analysis like this is learning how to ask a lot of questions. First try to determine the subject matter, what is being represented, which is known as the iconography of the scene. You might look up the word Anastasis in the InfoTrac database to find out exactly what the scene is supposed to represent and who is supposed to have been present. Then look very carefully at the figures shown in the fresco and see if you can figure out who is represented. Identify as many figures as you can. Who is in the center, and what kind of form surrounds him? Who are the figures who hold out their hands to him, and what do the positions of all three figures tell you about what is going on? What types of figures are represented in the groups on either side? What clues can their clothing and hair give you to their identity. Next describe the setting. What is on the top around the grouped figures? Then look at the lower portion of the fresco. What are the two figures coming out of? What do you see on the ground between them? What clues do all these objects give you to where the scene is taking place? What is the meaning of this particular grouping of figures? Where might the painting have been placed? What does the almond shape of 123
6 the frame and the figure below it tell you about the placement? What is the symbolic meaning of the narrative? You can learn more about the work and where it was done by doing a formal analysis of the style of the work itself. Analyze the image using the terms you learned earlier: form and composition, material and technique, line and color, space, mass and volume, perspective and foreshortening Note particularly how the formal elements create the sense of motion or stability, and that help to create the sense of space or lack of it. What does your formal analysis tell you about the style of the work? And what does the style tell you about the milieu in which it was created. The iconographic analysis helps you understand the subject that was represented and the formal analysis helps you judge how effectively the artist represented the scene. Your next task is it to deal with the meaning of the things that you have observed about the work. Who might it have been painted for, and what do you think the scene would have meant for them? 124
