The history of art through the stages of history
Man practiced art 30 thousand years ago, and it consisted of symbolic signs on the walls of caves, and that era was called the Paleolithic era, which is the Old Stone Age.
Because pagan religions depend on idols and the decoration of temples and they continued to be so until the Christian religion came and broke the idols because they are pagan worship, so art witnessed a decline. Then the Byzantine art and ecclesiastical art appeared, and this art depends on the drawing of Jesus, the Virgin and the saints, and it was drawings with faces surrounded by halos and golden colors.
Then came St. Francis, who wanted to combine art, religion and nature. (Love of nature and faith in religion)
Art gave a slight human glimpse.
