What effects did the Black Plague have on art and life?

Answer 1

It depends on which country, but for the most part, people believed it was "the end of days." Art was made much darker in the sense of skeletons dancing (a common painting). Life tended to share the same grim outlook but with feelings of acceptance (let the chips fall where they may).

Answer 2

The Black Plague affected art and life in many ways. Skeletons are symbol of death. But they can also be a symbol of something that's there but that other people don't necessarily see. This is because we all have a skeleton, but it's covered by skin. In the same way, when you say "I've got skeleton's in my closet", you're saying that there's stuff that's there it's just that people don't see it. Also, when people die, their flesh rots and eventually you just see the skeleton. So if there was a plague, there'd be lots of death and therefore lots of skeletons. Also, you can't recognise someone by their skeleton (unless you're a forensic person like on CSI and you can use dental records and stuff) so they just become like every other dead person. I think a lot of painters and writers would've seen all the skeletons lying around during the Black Plague and would've then drew them and written about them, so I definitely think it had an effect on art and life.

Answer 3

I suspect that you will fail this question on your homework assignment. Too bad.

Oh...minus five points for you too. It was "The Black Death". Not "The Black Plague".

Answer 4

It killed it.
