Presentation transcript:

Early Christian Art Christianity was legalized by Emperor Constantine (Edict of Milan in 325 AD) - before this, Christianity had to be practiced in secret to avoid persecution (punishment: torture or death). Christians would either meet in one another’s homes or in catacombs outside of the Roman city walls. Early Christians abandoned realistic art for symbolic representation. Images / symbols were adapted from Roman pagan traditions and used to convey religious concepts. The Christian Church began to grow as the power and influence of the Roman Empire gradually declined.

Terminology Fresco – painting on wet plaster on terminology handout Fresco – painting on wet plaster Tessarae - pieces of coloured glass (sometimes with gold leaf underneath) used to create wall mosaics. Mosaic – an image created through arranging pieces of coloured glass or stone on a surface. Catacombs –underground passageways used to bury Christian dead and as meeting places during persecutions. Sarcophagus – a stone coffin, often elaborately decorated. Façade – Front of a building Stylized – When images are less realistic and somewhat simplified (e.g. saint’s clothing). Relief – sculptural carvings on a surface that show depth but are not totally 3-D like a sculpture / statue.
