13th- mid 15th century religious art and architecture reflect what was going on in that fragmented world. Byzantine churches carry on the same tradition. Convoluted regional style takes over: the more elaborate brick work, fluted roofs, tall, complex/complicated plan of building itself. Church of the chora is still standing and can be toured. Some byzantine idea influenced things in the renaissance and vice versa. Byzantine style very influential- look at russia orthodox art very similar and largely influenced. All the spa(cid:272)es (cid:449)here it"s possi(cid:271)le to put pai(cid:374)ti(cid:374)gs or de(cid:272)oratio(cid:374)s had them- covered head to toe. The image of the resurrection of jesus- style of these late byzantine figures, more flowing and elongated. Heavily ornate and every ounce of the walls are heavily filled. This style is across the byzantine world. More detail in faces and detail in the background. These where all formally made, very expensive and elaborate.
