The present papers shows that, against the popular view of the Byzantine artist as a pious artisan subjected to the authority of the Church, a number of Byzantine craftsmen sympathized for and were involved in heterodox religious behaviours and heretic movements. The paper includes examples from late Antiquity until the Middle- and Late Byzantine periods.
