| Summary: | This article proposes an analysis of the issue of spatial representation in Byzantine art. In the first part, we identify the reasons leading to the elimination of three-dimensionality effects in Byzantine imagery. The idea that Byzantine artists intentionally gave up three-dimensional representation is supported with arguments. Even though Byzantine art systematically rejected representing the third dimension, we can definitely discover certain ways of rendering spatiality. These methods are briefly analysed in the second part of this work. |
