The Byzantine Empire contributed to art, specifically Christian images and icons
dedicated to the glorification of the Christian religion. The style that
characterized Byzantine art was almost entirely concerned with religious
expression; specifically with the translation of church theology into artistic
terms. Byzantine visual art began with mosaics decorating the walls and domes
of churches. The greatest collection of this type of early Biblical art is in the
monastery of St Catherine in Sinai, founded in the 6th century by the Emperor
Justinian
