Synopsis: Many streams flowed into what we call Medieval art, classic naturalism, Oriental color, Egyptian designs, barbarian carvings, but they were all united and transformed by an overwhelming single force, the Christian faith. Medieval art is primarily the art of this faith. Its subjects are most often scenes from the Gospels or the lives of the Saints.
