Early Christian Art Slides # 1-3

Early Christian Period Emperor Constantine the Great legalized Christianity with a law called the Edict of Milan in 325 AD. Before the Edict of Milan, the Christian faith had to be practiced in secret to avoid persecution (punishment by torture or death). Christians would meet in each other’s homes or catacombs to worship; after the Edict of Milan they could start to build public churches. The Christian Church began to grow as the power and influence of the Roman Empire gradually declined.

Terminology Façade – Front of a building Tessarae - the little pieces of coloured glass, that are used to create an image. Mosaic – a work of art made from small pieces of marble or tessarae. Fresco – painting on wet plaster Catacombs – underground burial places Sarcophagus – a stone coffin, often elaborately decorated. Stylized – When images are less realistic and somewhat simplified (e.g. saint’s clothing). Relief – sculptural carvings on a surface that show depth but are not totally 3-D like a sculpture / statue.

The Early Christian Basilica Plan on terminology handout Basilica – a long rectangular hall, used by Romans as public meeting places – adapted to churches. Apse – semi-circular chapel at the end of the nave used for the throne of the bishop and the altar. Nave – centre aisle of the church. Arcade – a series of arches and columns supporting them (supporting the walls). Side Aisle – Walkway of a church running parallel to the nave, separated by piers or columns. Clerestory – Upper part of a nave containing windows that illuminate the interior of the church.

Early Christian Characteristics: Medieval artisans were interested in the soul, NOT the beauty of the body like the Greek and Romans. Nudes were forbidden. Plain on the outside but beautiful on the inside. Art was symbolic / realism was not important Earliest Christian art found is in Catacombs Compared to Roman mosaics (which are marble), these mosaics are reflective, found on ceilings, & placed unevenly so they would sparkle (due to use of glass & gold leaf).
