MEDIEVAL PERIOD
MEDIEVAL PERIOD
The Medieval period, which lasted from fifth to fifteenth century CE, is
sometimes referred to as the MIDDLE AGES or the DARK AGES.
Many people though that during this time, there were no new
discoveries or inventions made in the West. But this is a
misconception. This period began with the fall of the Western Roman
Empire and lasted until the Renaissance. During the 1000 years of the
medieval period, there were many developments in art and
architecture. Some of which include the Early Christian art, Byzantine
art, Romanesque art, and the Gothic art. These are but a few of the
generally accepted classifications and phases of medieval art.
MEDIEVAL ART
• -The end of the Gothic style marked the end of the medieval period. A
number of factors caused the transition of the Middle ages to the
renaissance. One of which was the discovery of the works of the
Greek and Roman philosophers.
