Art of the Middle
Ages, 550-1450, was complex
and intriguing, fraught with
religious fervor and
symbolism.
The Catholic Church, the
all powerful institution
of the time,
commissioned Biblically
themed art-works such as
paintings, sculptures,
architecture and
illuminated manuscripts.
Stories of the Bible
were told and retold
continuously--painted,
sermonized, allegorized,
embellished, creating a
convincing and
mysterious faith.
