Italian term or phrase: comneno/a
"I mosaici bizantini di Palermo, Cefalù e Monreale sono tra i più importanti e meglio conservati esempi dell’arte musiva comnena"

I know that Comnena is the Latinised form of the Greek Κομνηνή but is "Comnena" a recognised art-historical term for a particular Byzantine style? And is it the same in English?

Art history experts only please. No speculation, guessing, or googling - thanks in advance.
