After the fall of the Roman Empire there was not much art. People just basically forgot about it. The Christian and Byzantine art used bright colors and displayed their pictures better. Because of this, art was brought back. Fayum portraits were paintings of heads that were put over Egyptian faces. The portrait of Justinian is with him in the center with a halo over him portraying him as the most important person. The art became more depicted and better than earlier times.
