Was Fresco painting common in Byzantine art?

Frescoes were less widespread in the Byzantine period than in the classical period. They were often replaced by wall mosaics.


What made mosaic such a desirable art form for the byzantine period?

The Greeks and the Classical Romans used mosaics manly for floors. The Byzantine period made quite an extensive use of mosaics on the walls of churches. Mosaic tiles were more expensive than materials for fresco painting, and mosaic making was more laborious than painting frescoes. Therefore mosaics displayed the wealth of the Byzantine Empire. There was also an integration of architecture and mosaic decoration.

What was the main element that made byzantine art abstract?

Byzantine Empire went through two periods which historians have called Byzantine Iconoclasm (726-787 and 814-842) when the use of religious images or icons was opposed by religious and imperial authorities. Religious themes were not allowed and were replaced with secular ones. Imagery as such was not an issue. However, especially considering that religious themes were dominant in the Middle Ages, artists found themselves with a very restricted number of subjects. As a result, some artists produced paintings which did not represent something recognisable as what is seen in the everyday life and concentrated on visual effects. Some of these works anticipated some aspects of modern abstract art.
