Ugh the person speaking really needs to step back from the microphone as well as make the room sound proof. Like I'm trying to do my work, but it's impossible to pay attention to the echo in her voice.

The Byzantine tradition of religious icon painting proved particularly influential to Italian artists, giving them a rich canvas of ideas for religious imagery and representation that was awe-inspiring, austere, and symbolic to its core.

Thanks to the cultural emigres from Constantinople, already by the 13th and early 14th centuries, Italian artists adopted what became known as the ”maniera greca,” which is Italian for ”Greek style.”

This influence was especially evident in places like Siena, where Duccio di Buoninsegna created his masterpiece ”Maestà” for Siena Cathedral in 1311 AD.

A completely new style was gradually established that valued both classical traditions, drawing their inspiration from ancient works, along with elements of Byzantine spirituality.

The influence of Byzantine artistic traditions continued and lasted for centuries, even as Renaissance art took on its own unique personality and dominated the artistic world of Western Europe in the centuries after the fall of the Byzantine Empire.

Numerous works of art throughout Italy are still clear evidence of this cultural interaction and interconnection as they bear the Byzantine influence that shaped the Italian Renaissance. Such was the cultural level and the heritage of the Byzantine Empire.

I'm loving this series. Thank you for posting and sharing this Dr. Jeanne Willette. :)
