← HistoryWhich consequence results when tesserae detachment happened Byzantine mosaics?
A)Increased light diffusion and blending
B)Compromised structural integrity and stability✓
C)Enhanced acoustic reverberation properties
D)Improved thermal insulation of interior
💡 Explanation
Structural movement leads to tesserae detachment, causing decreased structural rigidity because the shear strength holding the mosaic together weakens. This lowers the mosaic’s capacity to withstand stress, therefore increased structural instability, rather than acoustic benefits or insulation changes resulting.
