Medieval art primarily served to communicate religious themes and narratives, reflecting the values and beliefs of the time. It was often created for churches and monastic settings, aiming to educate the largely illiterate populace about biblical stories and moral lessons. Additionally, medieval art sought to inspire devotion and spiritual contemplation, using symbolism and iconography to convey deeper meanings. Overall, it functioned as a means of worship, cultural expression, and social cohesion during a period marked by faith and tradition.
