Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Byzantine art is above all a Christian art and does not make any kind of portrait about the human body. The object of Byzantine art is devotion to Christianity. These are works that originate in the artistic expressions of the converts in the faith in Jesus Christ and it were manifested especially through the sacred paintings in the catacombs and in the tombs.
