Descripción
Sumario:The musivarian technique, as a decorative and narrative mechanism, was used since Antiquity and Christianity drew extensively on it in order to develop its own propaganda iconographic cycles, transferring it to walls and ceilings, narrating in a thousand different ways the christian essage in temples and palaces, seizing Roman aesthetic resources and narratives, in such a way that the mosaic greatly surpassed painting between the 4th and 8th centuries. The main object of this article is to analyze the women portrayed or clients in ravenan mosaics between the 5th and 7th centuries, whether they were holy, noble, plebeian, sinful or virtuous.
