Early Christian and Byzantine portraiture represent a continuation and break form the past. Fayum portraits were panel paintings placed of the heads of mummies. They tied the past and present together as one. In the Ravenna Portrait of Justinian it shows past and present. It shows all different types of people holding different things. They have shields and other things that fit them. The Fayum Portraits show ancient Egypt and Britian ideas into one painting. They got tied together as one. This is how they show a continuation and break from the past.
