Medieval art refers to the artistic styles and practices that flourished in Europe during the Middle Ages, roughly from the 5th to the late 15th century. It encompasses a variety of forms, including illuminated manuscripts, frescoes, sculptures, and architecture, often characterized by religious themes and symbolism. This art served not only as decoration but also as a means of conveying spiritual messages and educating a largely illiterate populace. Key periods within medieval art include the Early Christian, Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic styles, each reflecting the cultural and historical contexts of the time.
