Medieval Framed Art

Medieval art covers a large timeframe, and it has a scope of about 1000 years in Europe, and a little less in Middle East and North Africa. Medieval art can be classified in a few different styles that were differentiated through time. Some of more known styles include: Early Christian art, Byzantine art, Romanesque art and Gothic art. Medieval art in Europe was created from the artistic tradition of the Roman Empire and iconographic styles of the Christian church. The art itself was presented on different items, like glass, metalwork, sculptures, mosaics, wall paintings and tapestry. Valuable materials were often used on medieval art and it was presented in many different forms. Those forms were made to last a long time, so the various art forms gained a historic note through time.
