Medieval Art• Religious
purpose• Used to teach
religious tones to those who could not read
• Reality wasn’t important, the most important issue was show religious figures.

During Medieval times people became very good at reading these types of images. Certain items or objects would appear in stories that would represent different characters or events in the bible. For example, Mary was often pictured in blue, and anyone with a halo with a cross in it, was known to be Christ. These were known as symbols and during the medieval times, they were very obvious

Renaissance Art Realism Perspective Symbolism Still related to
religion, but new ideas and subjects became prevalent
Greek mythology

PerspectiveBecause people started studying mathematics and the world more, and because artists did not have to create art that was so otherworldly for the church, they began to want to portray the world as it really was. They began to experiment to try and paint pictures that conveyed the deep space of the world around them. From this study and experimentation artists learned how to use linear perspective, to mathematically convey the sense of deep space in their paintings

In this painting you can see how the lines in the background converge towards a single point. This is called linear perspective and gives the illusion of space. It was developed during the Renaissance by an artist named Alberti. Alberti is famous for writing that artists should make their paintings look “like a window on the world” meaning art should try to look as realistic as possible.

During the Renaissance new subject matter was allowed for artwork. Because all the art did not have to be for the church, new types of artwork were made including portraits, paintings that depicted Greek mythology, and genre scenes (scenes of everyday life)
