Paintings from the Medieval Era

Byzantine Painting
the Greek and Oriental styles seem to blend together in magnificent, imposing images,
which adorned the churches in large and small forms.
Romanesque Painting
These are largely placed mosaics on the walls of the churches that follows a strict frontal
pose
Paintings from the Gothic Era
Paintings have been confined in the illumination of manuscript pages and the painting of
frescoes on the walls of churches in cosmopolitan style, elegant, mannered and
sophisticated.

Pre-Historic Sculptures
Venus of Willendorf
It is carved from limestone with excessively heavy breast and abdomen used as charm to
ensure fertility
Venus of Brassempouy
A sculpture of a lady with the hood. It is a fragmentary ivory figurine from the Upper
Paleolithic era that realistically represents the human face and hairstyle

Sculptures from the Egyptian Era

Symbolic elements were widely used such as forms, hieroglyphics, relative size, location,
materials, color, actions and gestures. Their tombs required the most extensive used of
sculpture.
The most common materials used for sculptures are wood, ivory and stones.
Greek Sculptures
Their bodies were hidden within enfolding robes. After three centuries of experiments, Greek
sculptures had finally evolved and showed all the points of human anatomy and proportion.
Roman Sculptures
Most Roman sculptures are made of monumental terra-cotta. They did not attempt to
compete with the free standing Greek works of history or mythology but rather they produced
reliefs in the Great Roman triumphal columns with continuous narrative reliefs around
Byzantine Sculptures
The dominant themes in Byzantine sculptures are religious, everyday life scenes, and motifs
from nature. Animals were used as symbols (dove, deer, peafowl) while some had acrostic
signs (form of writing in which taking the first letter; syllable or word of different lines and
putting them together it can be read a message) that contained a great theological
significance .

http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Barberini_Ivory
Romanesque Sculptures
Some of the famous sculptural pieces are reliquaries, altar frontals, crucifixes, and
devotional
images.
Gothic Sculptures
Gothic sculptures have a greater freedom of style. They no longer lay closely against the
wall, but begun to project outward.Figures were given their own particular attitudes instead
of being set into particular patterns and are more lively and realistic
