Something In The Middle Ages,Dark Ages ?

Question

i need any subject thats in the middle ages like um cupid or mona lisa those are ready being used in this class assignment help me sum1?

Answer 1

Cupid was from the classical period and the Mona Lisa from the renaissance, so if your classmates are using them, they're already off track.

Look up Romanesque - this was the predominate art style of the 11th-early 13th centuries. Subjects included Biblical stories, Knights, King Arthur, the Garden of Eden, the Last Judgement. Gilbertus was the most famous sculptor from this era. The Bayeux Tapestry gives lots of examples - besides the main images of the Conquest of England, the borders are full of small pictures of animals, peoples and incidents from legend.

Look up Gothic - this was the predominate art style of the latter part of the 13th century through the 14th. Subjects include courty love, gardens, daily life, Kings & Queens, horses & jousting, gargoyles. The Manesse Codex is a good example.

Look up Norse Art - Oseberg, Borre, Urnes, etc. These were the predominate styles in the north of Europe in the early middle ages (often, mistakenly called the "Dark Ages). Subjects includes Giants, Trolls, Gods (like Thor, Odin & Freyr), sailing ships, and animals - lots and lots of animals. Urnes Stave Kirk door carving is a good place to start examining these styles.

That should give you a good start.

Answer 2

Well, first off, whoever is using Cupid and Mona Lisa are in the wrong timeframe because those things were done in the Renaissance. I sure hope your teacher is intelligent enough to know that. She'd better be. The Medieval time period was from 800 to 1499. Anyway, King Arthur was in the Dark Ages, more properly referred to as Medieval times, of course, his authenticity is questionable. You could write about the Crusades. You could write about the Knights Templar. Chaucer. King Richard I the Lionhearted. Thomas Aquinas. Thomas Becket. William the Conqueror. William Wallace. Robert the Bruce. Saladin. Marco Polo. Medieval art and architecture as a general concept. How about the Medieval Warm Period and The Mini Ice Age. The list is endless.

Answer 3

Well the easy ones are religious paintings or sculptures. Truthfully those are most of what you will find if you do a search, but... If you search for things like Michelangelo's art/paintings you might be able to discover some interesting paintings to talk about.
Then there's people like the French Artists Guild. This organization has been around since the middle ages. They have quite a few paintings linked to them, like 'Diana on the Hunt' and a few portraits of famous rulers.

Does that help you?

Answer 4

The Middle Ages and the Dark Ages are not the same thing, so firstly, make up your mind or read the assignment again. Are you looking for a specific painting or drawing or a theme that appears over and over? How about Hell, or one of the saints?

Answer 5

King Arthur, Arthurian legends such as Avalon, Christianity coming to Britain (St Brendan, St Columbus, St Patrick), the fall of the Roman Empire, the feudal system, the War of the Roses, The Hundred Year War, the Inquisition... sorry, that's about all I can remember from my school days. Good luck!

Answer 6

The Crusades, The Inquisition, The search for the Holy Grail, Charlemagne

Answer 7

i dont know why they teach about the mona lisa at school,that is in euorope which means it was painted to give to someone and when trhat person died the government startd taking care of it,

now is the middle or dark ages because people use fire to travel and dont want electric cars because they dont trust anyone, and electricity is like fire

their is a lot more ways to use solid mass then just for what you can thinbk of when you dont have any

Answer 8

the dark ages (middle ages) involved knights, dragons, faery's, witches, warlocks, saint (who was that guy? killed a dragon...catholic paintings of it all over the place)...you'd be more historically correct to go with that or something to do with old celtic studys...the vikings...the crusades (it was all about religious war, and it was pointed at the muslims...history repeating itself? that's a good question.)
robber barrons ruled, feudal systems were strongly in place, that was the time of castles, knights, and dragons.

Answer 9

What about a torture chamber - a 'rack', or other implements - chains, mangles, iron bracelets, other horrible stuff. - these would be an antidote to the cupids etc.
