The term Pantobyzantine describes a style of architecture, art, and music which evolved from the style of late Byzantium into a distinct style of its own in 16th and early 17th century Pantocratoria. It saw the incorporation of some western influences, and the fusion of those influences with the earlier Byzantine style, as well as a refinement of the earlier Byzantine style. It was subsumed by the introduction of baroque, classicist, and rococo artistic, architectural and musical styles to Pantocratoria which occured from the reign of Manuel V le Franc to the reign of Emperor Louis.
