About the Item

XIX Century Pendant 18k Gold Cross Bynzantine style with rubies and rock crystals Length 102mm / 4.01in. Byzantine art, architecture, paintings, and other visual arts produced in the Middle Ages in the Byzantine Empire (centred at Constantinople) and in various areas that came under its influence. The pictorial and architectural styles that characterized Byzantine art, first codified in the 6th century, persisted with remarkable homogeneity within the empire until its final dissolution with the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. Byzantine art is almost entirely concerned with religious expression and, more specifically, with the impersonal translation of carefully controlled church theology into artistic terms. Its forms of architecture and painting grew out of these concerns and remained uniform and anonymous, perfected within a rigid tradition rather than varied according to personal whim. The result was a sophistication of style and a spirituality of expression rarely paralleled in Western art. READY TO SHIP *Shipment of this piece is not affected by COVID-19. Orders welcome!
