Well most people in that age couldn't read or write. So it served as a visual way to teach people about Catholicism and the Bible. They portrayed the Devil as being the scariest being.

AnswerIn Medieval Europe, aside from the Jews, everyone was Catholic, and, although it is hard to understand from a contemporary point of view-people were more fervent. The fact that we live for ever either with God in heaven or without God in hell, and this short life was just a trial to decided where we end up, was much more real and present to the people back then. There was only one Church, everyone belonged to it, and most people took it very seriously. Art, as mentioned above, was one of the primary ways of educating people about the faith and people were much more interested in learning about the faith back then. One of the more fascination facts about art is that there is no protestant art. Go to the museums, most of the art from the renaissance and before was all Catholic. To quote from a Wikipedia article, "but the amount of religious art produced in Protestant countries was hugely reduced" with the artists in those countries turning to other subjects.They reflected with major events that happened in the bible.
