← HistoryWhich risk increased when 6th-century Byzantine mosaic workshops rapidly expanded?
A)Decreased tesserae refractive index
B)Insufficient colorant calcination occurred✓
C)Increased anisotropic material stresses
D)Accelerated silica leaching processes
💡 Explanation
Rapid workshop expansion raised the risk of insufficient colorant calcination, because pigments did not fully develop via Oxidation Reduction. Therefore, weaker chemical bonds formed, and premature fading of the mosaic, would have occurred, rather than maintaining their vibrant colors.
