Medieval art focused largely on the religious. Aside from that, however, there was always secular art produced, the Bayeux Tapestry being one example. The secular gradually became more important in the second half of the Middle Ages and was largely like art today in its subject matter, which included themes relating to love, war, normal life, and so on.
A key characteristic of medieval art is its focus on religious themes and an emphasis on symbolism, often prioritizing spiritual representation over realism. Figures in medieval art are typically stylized and lack proportionality, contrasting with Renaissance art's emphasis on naturalism, perspective, and human anatomy. Additionally, medieval art often features flat, two-dimensional depictions, whereas Renaissance art embraces depth and three-dimensionality.
