Life-sized (or larger-than-life) statues and portraiture seem to have been the mainstay of ancient Roman Art. Why did it virtually disappear into the later Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire?

Vienna before WWI was the capital of a large, multi-ethnic empire that ranked among the Great Powers of the world. After the war, it was a capital of a small, land-locked nation with a largely homogeneous population. How did the city evolve with its drastic change in fortunes?

Both the Byzantine Empire in 1300 & the Ottoman Empire a few decades later in 1370 shared a similar geographic area of Thrace & Western Anatolia. However, the Byzantines seemed to be terminal decline, while the Ottomans went on to conquer the Eastern Mediterranean. What accounts for the difference?
