Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages, religion imposed a significant and
profound influence on artists and society, leading to the
construction of large cathedrals and basilicas. It is vital
to note that while the overall subject is religion, the
crucial aspect is the portrayal of it. Throughout the
years, several styles and shapes emerged, with each
artist leaving their unique imprint on the art.

The Ognissanti Madonna

Giotto. 1310. 325cm x 204cm.
It was made for the Floretine church of
Ognissanti. The painting shows a conventional
Christian theme, including the Virgin Mary and
the Christ Child seated on her lap, accompanied
by saints and angels encircling them from all
directions.

The painting style showed a strong similarity to Roman art, while
including elements inspired by Christianity.

Trinity
Andrei Rublev. 15th C.
Andrei Rublev's "The Trinity" is a renowned Russian artwork created in the early 15th century. It is a vertical
painting made on wood. The artwork portrays a scene including three cangels seated at a table, with a cup holding
the head of a calf. The background of the picture includes Abraham's house, the Oak of Mamre, and Mount Moriah.
This artwork is viewed as a representation of the Holy Trinity, symbolizing spiritual unity, peace, harmony, mutual
love, and humility.

Prehispanic

N/A N/A

Prehispanic, also known as pre-Columbian cultures define a lot of current culture. We are gonna talk about
different civilizations and their most important achievements.

Modern culture is heavily shaped by pre-Hispanic or pre-Columbian cultures, particularly in Mexico where
Spanish colonialism and indigenous civilizations coexisted. It's alarming how many people ignore the
significance and wealth of these ancient communities nowadays.

Due to the end of the Ice Age and the subsequent extinction of huge prey like mammoths, tribes throughout the
Archaic Era changed from nomadic to more sedentary lifestyles. During this period of better environmental
conditions, Native American populations increased significantly and the need for more defined, smaller territory
grew as a result of the increasing population density.

During the Preclassic Period, the subsequent advancements had great importance:

Over time, agriculture developed and underwent significant change.

The manufacture of pottery began.
Villages gave way to towns as settlements developed.
The populace was divided into laboring groups.
Trade and business began to grow.
Technical instruments have been improved.
Fabric and textile manufacturing got underway.
A sophisticated religious system was developed.

Because so little is known about the ethnic origins of the Olmec people or about many of its settlements, the
Olmec civilization remains a mystery. The Aztecs called them "Olmec," which translates to "rubber people."
