56. Pre-historic art is not easy to
understand. These artworks are clues
for archeologists in understanding the
Stone Age civilization. Archeologists
are given a peek into the minds of
primitive people through their artworks
and out what they have experienced to
produce those pictures.
57. The characteristics of Egyptian art are a
combination of geometric regularity and keen
observation of nature. Their art was classified
into three: first art used in the home-furniture,
jewelry, musical instruments and many more,
sec-and art used in the dead – tombs, masks
mummy cases, and wrapping for the body,
third art was created for the gods and their
priests and kings-in temples, paintings, statues.
58. The Greek art style was a taste of Western realism or
“naturalism”. Artists have studied anatomy, physics,
and optics, as well as techniques of carving, painting,
building, gold-working, and ceramics.
Roman artists tried to reproduce the world around
them as realistically as they could. Their architecture
was designed to reflect the power of the city and to
create in all people’s awe of its imperial power. Roman
art reflects a mixture of borrowed cultures fused with
local traditions to form their styles and traditions.
59. Byzantine art was the meeting place for the Greek and
oriental culture.
Romanesque style first evolved in the first third of the
12th century. It is a complete realization of religious and
social functions and had an architectural program with a
wealth of sculptural decoration subordination to the
architectural frame.
Gothic art, being exclusively religious art, lent powerful
tangible weight to the growing power of the Church in
Rome. This not only inspired the public, as well as its
secular leaders but also it firmly established the
connection between religion and art, which was one of
the foundations of the Italian Renaissance
