It's interesting to think their politics were more libertine than ours

note how byzantine art has no conception of perspective.

You’re a fucking Retard. They did this on purpose to imitate the perfect world of heaven.

It's kino

they didn't have a choice ("on purpose") as linear perspective in painting wasn't invented until 15th century Italy (by Filippo Brunelleschi).

It's also because art was ritualized, every person drawn had a specific motif that had to appear next to them, it was more of a representation than serious art

BOTTOM TEXT

Because it's an n short of violent and the Byzantine word for violence is "via" which is almost similar to the Byzantine word for violets which is "ia" but in earlier Greek it had a digamma sound which means it was pronounced "wia". The reason you don't think like this for the Modern Greek State is because their word for the violet is Turkish. What you might think about Turks is that they have "men excess" i.e. there are too many Turks.

Paradox games

You played too much EU4 and HOI4

Violet was an expensive color to use at the time
so it was royal in general
Byzantines used it a lot
they even used born in the purple as a general term for royals

If I am reading my art history correctly, byzantine tended towards spiritual iconography and the Italians introduced linear perspective (some times termed realism) and the history of art thenceforth is the balancing of these two types of representation (the spiritual or emotional 'real' and the psychologically 'real' that 'duplicates' the outside world: Bazin).

More precisely, for emperors that were born to a reigning emperor.

You played total war

There is a difference in how art was viewed in general though, Italians had art to be beautiful, Byzantines viewed it as a tool of representation, people were drawn outworldly on purpose with leitmotifs that helped explain them, like dragons and sheep for certain people. It was a concept that set them apart

Those are the guys that got fucked up the ass by sandniggers, right?

it started like that and was later bastardized to include lower royalty as well

why did old people look so weird? gaunt from shitty food?

Check the KANG.

By horseniggers, sad but true!

It's because the forms must NOT be seen as a play of light and shadow like in conventional art but rather every part like the nose, forehead, eyes, dress etc must appear as coherent, monolithic forms that can identify the figure even on their own. I attended a hagiography seminar once and that's what we were told.

Byzantines handled the Jews better than the ww2 Germans.

Don't worry about it too much, Mehmet. In a few centuries it will become Kurdish, with its own Kurdish name, Kurdish population, culture, architecture, etc.

People don't know that even the imperial saints shat on the jews, like Chrysostom, the moment the ottomans came to Salonica they turned it into a haven for western jewish exiles
