Byzantine Renaissance

The Byzantine Renaissance refers to a cultural revival in the Byzantine Empire, particularly during the 9th to 12th centuries. It was marked by a resurgence of interest in classical Greek and Roman art, literature, and philosophy, alongside a flourishing of religious and iconographic art. This period saw advancements in theology, law, and administration, influenced by the empire's interactions with neighboring cultures. The Byzantine Renaissance played a crucial role in preserving ancient knowledge and laid the foundation for the later Renaissance in Western Europe, highlighting the enduring influence of Byzantine culture on art and scholarship.
