Artsy, Fartsy, Culture, and Stuff.

Medieval

There was also the depictions of Bible images and the battle between good and Evil. Some leading Medieval arts were such like Jato.

Gothic
Most Gothic arts were found in the architecture. These new buildings were mostly cathedrals and they featured flying buttresses, thin walls, and large stain-glass widows. The Gothic way was to illuminate books. This was the beautification of images depicted in books and the styling of the edges of said books. Some of the most famous illuminators were the Lambeaux brothers.

Renaissance

Most paintings were funded by wealthy families and were based on Christianity. These Renaissance artists used depth and perception in sculptures and paintings. Some of the most famous artists were Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Rafael.
