FAQ About The Influence of Byzantine Art on Modern Iconography

What techniques did Byzantine artists use?

Byzantine artists used techniques like encaustic painting, where pigments are mixed with hot wax and applied to a surface, and mosaic art, which involved assembling small pieces of colored glass or stone. The fresco technique was also prevalent, with pigments applied to wet plaster walls, allowing the colors to absorb and become permanent fixtures of architectural interiors.
