← HistoryWhich consequence results when tesserae detachment occurs within Byzantine apse mosaics?
A)Diffuse fresco surface degradation
B)Weakened structural arch stability
C)Localized image distortion appears✓
D)Accelerated iconoclasm implementation begins
💡 Explanation
Localized image distortion results from tesserae detachment because Differential Thermal Expansion creates inconsistent movements throughout the structure leading directly to loss of image integrity; therefore, image distortion occurs rather than fresco degradation. Frescoes are paints not mosaics.
