BYZANTINE.............

Byzantine art...uh... well the art is very 2d and has no depth. I'm not very fond of this period of art. Though the mosaics made during this period are amazing, I don't like that there very plain. The Hagia Sophia is an amazing Structure. Being made so many years ago and going through wars and still standing today. Though it has gone through construction due to so mishaps that have happen to the Church. The inside of the Hagia Sophia is all mosaic, and the dome of the Church gives it a floating look. It's an amazing site and can take any one's breath away.
