Answer:
Art historians attempt to classify medieval
art into major periods and styles, often with
some difficulty. A generally accepted scheme
includes the later phases of Early Christian
art, Migration Period art, Byzantine art,
Insular art, Pre-Romanesque, Romanesque
art, and Gothic art, as well as many other
periods within these central styles. In
addition each region, mostly during the
period in the process of becoming nations
or cultures, had its own distinct artistic style,
such as Anglo-Saxon art or Viking art.
Medieval art was produced in many media,
and works survive in large numbers in
sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, stained
glass, metalwork and mosaics, all of which
have had a higher survival rate than other
media such as fresco wall-paintings, work
in precious metals or textiles, including
tapestry. Especially in the early part of the
period, works in the so-called "minor arts"
or decorative arts, such as metalwork,
ivory carving, enamel and embroidery
using precious metals, were probably more
highly valued than paintings or monumental
sculpture.[1]
Medieval art in Europe grew out of the
artistic heritage of the Roman Empire and the
iconographic traditions of the early Christian
church. These sources were mixed with
the vigorous "barbarian" artistic culture of
Northern Europe to produce a remarkable
artistic legacy. Indeed, the history of
medieval art can be seen as the history
of the interplay between the elements of
classical, early Christian and "barbarian"
art.[2] Apart from the formal aspects of
classicism, there was a continuous tradition
of realistic depiction of objects that survived
in Byzantine art throughout the period,
while in the West it appears intermittently,
combining and sometimes competing with
new expressionist possibilities developed in
Western Europe and the Northern legacy of
energetic decorative elements. The period
ended with the self-perceived Renaissance
recovery of the skills and values of classical
art, and the artistic legacy of the Middle Ages
was then disparaged for some centuries.
