Answer:

Artists added gold backgrounds to signify the wealth of bishops.

Explanation:

Byzantine art is an artistic expression that is configured from the fifteenth century, strongly rooted in the Hellenistic and Eastern world, as a continuation of early Christian art. Since the beginning of the fifth century, an own and differentiated artistic formal language has been created that is maintained in the Western Empire. The taste for the richness and ornamental sumptuousness of Byzantine art, eminently Aulic, required the cladding of the walls of its temples with mosaics, not only to hide the poverty of the materials used but also as a means to express religiosity and semi-divine character of imperial power. The pictorial representation in Byzantine culture and Eastern Christianity exerted a particularly important function since it was considered the materialization of the divinity (revelation of the divine or theophany), in some cases even with the consideration of "made by non-human hands".

______________________________
1. Exposition. (where everything begins)

2. Plot. (what will take place in the story-what its mainly about)

3. Characters. (the people in the story -art- are the characters in the story)

4. i would have thought climax, therefore i sadly do not know this one for sure, but for a solid guess it would be rising action. -or exposition- ***Sorry about this one, its quite tricky to me***

5. resolution. (because it is ending the story)

6. climax (everything is changing, its about to become the falling action)

7. rising action. (Because everything is being sorted out and explained. It contains many important events that will soon become more important to the reader later on in the story.)
