CONCLUSION

The Early Christian and Byzantine periods

inherited Roman forms and put them to contemporary

use. The artists of these periods developed

vibrant traditions of art, architecture, and the

decorative arts. Not stylistically cohesive, the

works from the time after Rome’s implosion and

before its rebirth in the Renaissance are known

for multiple qualities. The works are secular and

sacred, tender and brash, solemn and dazzling.

It is no doubt that the combination of qualities

resulted in a collection of works that speak to individuals

and appeal to many.
