During the European Middle Ages, paintings and sculptures tended to be centered on the religious issue, especially in Christianity. But as the Renaissance emerged, the focus of arts moved to classical past, seeking influence in Ancient Greece and Rome, leading to profound changes in both technically and in terms of motifs and themes of painting and sculpture (reclaimed wood wall art).
This proportionality reached our days mainly due to conservation of Vitruvian texts during the Middle Ages, although it is likely that different treaties reflect different rules. In field of architecture, the most characteristic buildings of Greek arts are the temples, which are usually classified according to type of plants and order or style columns.
Many elements of Greek and Roman architecture were also adopted, but the great innovation of Renaissance architecture will be the improvement of construction of domes, highlighting the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. Following the humanistic spirit of period, the arts turned to more secular themes, motifs looking at adding them to Christian themes classical mythology.
Egyptian architecture, strong-willed symbolic and great monuments, first used carved stone, in large blocks with a lintel construction system and solid columns. The most characteristic buildings of religious Egyptian architecture are the "complex of pyramids", temples and tombs (mastabas and hypogea). Few have been preserved remains of civil architecture, it was built with adobe.
The sculpture reached during the fourth dynasty absolute mastery of technique in elegant and realistic depictions of scribes and statues of pharaohs stately. Dominated the "law of frontal". The mural representations, embossed or paintings, represented by symbolic hierarchical approach and mythological images, royalty and, later, scenes of everyday life (in tombs of nobles). Predominant "canon profile".
The Greeks are responsible for a concept of arts that permeate virtually all Western European arts production for over 2000 years. The Greek word for arts, techne, which also means arts or trade, will be associated with the idea of mimesis, which considers that in real world, the arts expression should represent the search for the ideal.
Baroque arts is often seen as parts of a strategy of Counter or Catholic reform: the arts element of rise of spiritual life of Catholic Church. To some arts historians the emphasis Baroque arts gives grandeur is seen as a reflection of Absolutism. Louis XIV of France said: "I am the embodiment of grandeur", and many Baroque arts served kings seeking the same goal. However, the Baroque love of detail is often regarded as the result of excessive ornamentalism, somehow, vulgar, especially when the Baroque evolves into decorative Rococo style.
It should be noted that the people in Middle Ages did not have the habit of reading, and very few had access to writing and could read. Therefore, arts was a way to spread in society the doctrine of Christianity. It is difficult to identify individual arts in this period, except for some foreman in architectural construction, and most of works are by anonymous authors. The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci is the symbol of humanistic spirit of Renaissance. The arts of this period A period reflects do arts design features: classicism, reason and symmetry.
