Their production is often associated with stamps creating a pattern repeat, which can be understood as a serial way of working. Yet, well-known examples such as the stucco decoration from San Vitale in Ravenna and the cathedral of Euphrasius in Poreč point in a different direction. Close optical examinations show that their pattern repeats were worked in parts freehand and are thus much more elaborate in their production. These pattern repeats can be defined as “modular pattern repeats”, as they vary in their smallest unit. Thereby, this production method creates a pronounced variance of the individual motifs and can rather serve as an indication of an “aesthetic modularity” than of a modularity triggered by the production process.

The workshops assembled individual parts “as if from a construction kit”, sometimes according to a strict design, sometimes in a playful manner. The present contributions are the first to examine this “modular way of working” and the various aspects it influences in a comprehensive way and thus make evident: modular working is proving to be an essential motor for cultural development.
