Medieval paintings
Medieval paintings immortalize primarily religious scenes. They are also characterized by the lack of linear perspective and rich symbolism. The most famous medieval painters include Fra Angelico, a Dominican, whose works depicted mainly angels, scenes from paradise and threads referring to the life of Mary. Hieronymus Bosch is also a popular medieval painter, who painted scenes from everyday life with rich moral content, as well as fantasy motifs incorporated into religious scenes.

Medieval art style
Medieval painting played a supportive role in relation to religion. Artists focused their works not on depicting humans but on representing symbolic content related to faith. The themes of famous medieval paintings mainly revolved around biblical scenes and topics related to the lives of saints. They also depicted themes like the suffering of Jesus on the cross and the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels. In addition to religious subjects, medieval paintings also portrayed noble kings and princes. Medieval artists did not employ linear perspective. Objects in medieval paintings were shown symbolically, and figures with greater significance were often depicted as larger. Furthermore, artists paid little attention to anatomical realism, leading to numerous distortions in the proportions of human figures in medieval paintings.

One of the most famous representatives of medieval painting was undoubtedly Hieronymus Bosch. This artist created works depicting scenes from everyday life and religious themes with elements of fantasy.
