Abstract

Byzantine architecture is extraordinarily rich in terms of the buildings, iconography and mosaics that have survived in the course of two millennia. Byzantine architecture and art was overlooked for a long period. Byzantine influence on architecture and art has widespread through Europe and America. Byzantine influence on several professions consisted of architecture, paintings, poetry, decorations and jewelry. Byzantine architecture and art was so spectacular that in the following eras it whether created a revival or became the spring of Neo-Byzantine style. Byzantine architecture had impressions on European Architecture from 15th century to 19th century. Byzantine Empire has served as a bridge of cultural transportation between East and West civilizations throughout its birth till the present time. This study aims to find the reciprocal influences between the past and the present architectural and artistic style intervals mainly shaped by Byzantine Empire.

Bizans mimarisi, yapı, ikon ve mozaik sanatları açısından çok zengindir. Bizans mimarisi başta Avrupa ve Amerika olmak üzere birçok yapıya esin kaynağı olmuştur. Bu yüzden üzerinde daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir. Bizans mimarisi ve sanatı yeni bir akım olan Neo-Bizans akımını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bizans mimarisi 15. Ve 19.
