Chapter 8 Late Antiquity

Late Antiquity
Art and architecture produced in the Late Antique world between 192 and 526 CE, both before and after the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine, by Jewish and Christian people. The artworks reflect their evolving cultural and religious practices, and include paintings, sculpture, early examples of illuminated manuscripts, and structures of worship. The artworks of this period are Roman in style and technique, but they differ in subject and often in function, and they form the foundation of art and architecture in the Middle Ages.
