This documentary series explores the artistic and cultural evolution of the early Christian era, challenging the notion of the dark ages as a period of stagnation. Through the lens of art history, the series examines how early Christians adapted existing Roman architectural and artistic forms to express their faith, creating a new visual language that would shape the future of Western art. From the hidden symbols in the catacombs to the grand basilicas commissioned by Constantine, the series reveals a vibrant and innovative period of artistic production that laid the foundations for the medieval world.
