 2.2 Overview: Medieval Times

Medieval Times

Now that you've covered the ancient arts, it's time to move on to the next major time period: the Middle Ages.

The Middle Ages has a bad reputation of being a dark, noncreative time. This is not totally true. Many of the artworks that have survived to present day are beautiful examples of the values of the time and most definitely worthy of your appreciation.

But just because you're out of the Classical era doesn't mean that everything has changed. In fact, some empires crossed over from ancient to Middle Ages, most notably, ancient Rome. So, you will study a bit more about ancient Rome before moving on to Renaissance Italy, the heart of most artistic developments for several hundred years.
