History

Which long-term outcome was accelerated by the tesserae's manufacturing limitations of early Byzantine mosaics?

A)Smaller detail in larger murals
B)Increased mosaic structural instability
C)Byzantine artists' preference of frescoes
D)Difficulty rendering complex shading

💡 Explanation

More detail was required to create larger scenes; therefore, limited color resulted in artists using smaller tesserae to effectively increase perceived resolution, because additive color mixing was not well-understood yet, rather than accepting lower detail.
