Summary/Abstract: This article proposes an analysis of the issue of spatialrepresentation in Byzantine art. In the first part, we identify the reasonsleading to the elimination of three-dimensionality effects in Byzantineimagery. The idea that Byzantine artists intentionally gave up threedimensionalrepresentation is supported with arguments. Even thoughByzantine art systematically rejected representing the third dimension, wecan definitely discover certain ways of rendering spatiality. These methodsare briefly analysed in the second part of this work
