Byzantine Art and Architecture

The Hagia Sophia

Built by Justinian. Orthodox Church Largest dome in world at time. Showed glory of God. Built with government money.

Lots of light and open space. Colors reflect light, produce “warmth.”

Hagia Sophia convinced Vladimir (Kiev) to convert to Christianity. Vladimir thought Byzantine God must be powerful!

Hippodrome Held 60,000 spectators Wild chariot races and circus acts

Hippodrome comes from Greek words meaning “horse” and “racecourse”

Mosaics Designs made by pieces of stone, glass, etc. Covered floors, walls, ceilings. Usually religious or natural themes. Figures appear stiff (not real). Calm faces try to inspire reverence.

Justinian Theodora

Icons Small religious picture used to help focus prayer. Depict Jesus, Mary, Saints, Angels
