Question

How does the cathedral in monreale,italy show byzantine influence

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Byzantine artists of the middle ages continued to create magnificent mosaics to adorn churches. Christ as Pantocrator, the king and judge of both heaven and earth, is a frequent representation of Christ that may be found in churches from this time period. These pictures were regularly seen on church domes. The Christ Pantocrator picture may be seen in the cathedral's apse, which serves as the interior's main visual focal point in Monreale, Italy. Despite being far from the Byzantine Empire's center, the church in Monreale clearly shows the Empire's strong impact. Traditional Byzantine Christ imagery, a Byzantine-style mosaic, symmetry, and a hierarchy of figures (Christ is seated below Mary and the Apostles, and below them is another row of Popes and Bishops) are all features of this work.

Answer 2

The Montreale Cathedral displays aspects of Byzantine influence due to its excessively decorated interior. You can also see influences of said time period through the lovely mosaics that adorn every available surface.
