However, the 4 century, the Roman Empire was divided into east and west are still two empires. 476 million, as a result of the North Germanic Europe and other "barbarian" invasions, the Western Roman Empire. Constantinople as the center of the Eastern Roman Empire lasted until the 15th century, also known as the Byzantine Empire.
With the recognition of the Christian Emperor Constantine, Christianity would be subject to legal protection, the official church built up. To decorate the church, and even more graphic doctrine, the artists on the wall produced a variety of "Bible" as the theme of the story mosaics.

Early Christian Greek and Roman art and traditional art——Christ's crucifixion

For Christ's crucifixion as such had to topic naked performance, when the artist to showcase one painful body image. The Son of God - all the virtues of the incarnation of God will withstand the test. Christian art, nothing could be more symbolic than Christ on the cross. This image is not flesh and blood, he is the spirit and soul of the symbols. Although the concept of conflict with Christianity, the image of Christ naked finally been accepted and engraved with an image of Christ in the world is difficult among minds.
Since the basic doctrines of Christianity is suppressed spiritual meat stretch, light weight characteristics of the spirit, and therefore reflected in the art is to exclude real opposition to realism. Jewish law the famous "Ten Commandments" in the system as it is prohibited, as is the avoidance of idolatry. However, in order to better teach doctrine to those cultural knowledge level is not high, or there is no culture of Hindus, they had to the image of a strong narrative approach to the performance of sacred deeds of Christ. Although the plastic arts are accepted Christianity, but in the beginning to avoid performance artists or Christ itself. Therefore, the early Christian tradition of Greek and Roman art and the biggest difference is not on the art style, and in the works of the subject matter.
The early Christians to avoid official search, such as the prayer sermon in a public ceremony arrangements were underground tomb. This tomb buried for Christians. People on the tomb of the dome and the walls are full of all kinds of "biblical" theme murals. The tomb is a treasure trove of early Christian art.

Early Christian art and culture of religious art - color tiles "Virgin and Child"

As a visual art paintings and statues in the religious life in the end what kind of function to play?This became eight or nine centuries of Christian life of the major issues in the sect inside a heated debate took place. In 730 AD, the Eastern Roman emperor Leo III issued a targeted ban on employing the image to show Christ, the Virgin Mary, saints and angels. The ban was lifted until AD 843, the character icon to regain contact and Western art world, classical art forms to re-occupy a place in the religious art activities.
AD a century to the early fourth century, Christianity in the Roman Empire was banned, and even suffered several brutal repression.
AD 64, an inexplicable fire burning in the city of Rome, the entire city of Rome fell into chaos, wood burning house explosion sounds and cries of the people of a hybrid. Roman Emperor Nero blamed the Christians to the blaze. At the moment though it is midnight, he ordered those captured Christians, treat them as torches burned alive. Christian policy under high pressure has been severely damaged, missionary activities and dissemination of religious art culture had to go underground.
After 300 years after Christian persecution, AD 313, Constantine recognized the "sacred values" of Christianity, presented the "Edict of Milan", so be legalized Christianity. Shortly thereafter, was designated as the Roman Christian "state religion." At this point in the disintegration of the Roman Empire has eve.
Early Christian art has been rapid development. Early Christianity inherited the tradition of Judaism, prohibit idolatry, banning all religious images, in just a few symbolic images such as crosses, lamb, shepherd, etc., to convey religious ideas. Venus goddess worshiped by the people in those days at this time is seen as something like a banshee was defamatory. Venus statue was found as long as the entity will be destroyed immediately. However, later on, Christian art works of body art is still there, between believers secret will inject some religious images, and gradually developed into a public art activities.
Early Christian architecture called traditional "Basilica" style architecture, it looks inherited classical Roman architecture, "power" of the United States, while the internal emulate the ornate beauty of oriental temples. To decorate interior of the church, there is a new art form - a small colored tiles, mosaic "Bible" in the figure, where "The Virgin and Child>" holy divisions "and other subjects are widely used.

Christian art is certainly not just a simple illustration of religious doctrine, it has self-discipline art forms themselves. In the early Christian art, the arts are faced with the majority of believers, their cultural level is not high, so the pursuit of concise and clear, in order to produce spiritual appeal. Thus forming a unique style of medieval art, most of the artistic image becomes surreal symbol mental image, full of unnatural and inhuman divinity.
