Discovery of Rock Art in Europe Until the mid-nineteenth century in Europe, numerous “prehistoric” objects made of stone or bone with carved representations of animals had been found in some caves; but it was not until 1879 when the first cave paintings were discovered. Traces of human activity or images that have been engraved or painted on rocky surfaces are known as rock art.
Egypt In Egypt, one of the first great civilizations emerged, with elaborate and complex works of art that already represent a professional specialization by the artisan artists. His art was intensely religious and symbolic, with a strongly centralized and hierarchical political power, giving great relevance to the religious concept of immortality. Initiated around 3,000 BC, Egyptian art lasted until the conquest of Alexander the Great, although its influence persisted in Coptic and Byzantine art.
Egyptian painting is characterized mainly by presenting juxtaposed figures in superimposed planes.
Greece In Greece the main artistic manifestations that have marked the evolution of Western art were developed, with a style based on nature and on the human being, where harmony and balance prevailed, the rationality of forms and volumes, and a sense imitation of nature that laid the foundations of the so-called classical art. After some beginnings where the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures stood out, Greek art developed in three periods: archaic, classical and Hellenistic. Greek painting was developed mainly in ceramics, in everyday scenes or historical or mythological themes.
Rome With a clear precedent in Etruscan art, Roman art received a great influence from Greek art. Thanks to the expansion of the Roman Empire, classical Greco-Roman art reached almost every corner of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, laying the evolutionary basis of future art developed in these areas.
Roman painting is known above all for the remains found in Pompeii, where four styles are perceived: the inlay, which mimics the marble cladding
Medieval art The fall of the Roman Empire of the West marked the beginning in Europe of the Middle Ages, a stage of certain political and social decline, since the fragmentation of the empire into small states and the social domination of the new military aristocracy meant the feudalization of all territories previously administered by the imperial bureaucracy.
Paleochristian art Paleochristian art is the one made by the first followers of this new religion, first in a hidden way, while they were still persecuted by the imperial power, to later pass, after the conversion to Emperor Constantine's Christianity, to be the official style of the Empire. The classical forms were reinterpreted to serve as an expression vehicle for the new official religion, and there was an atomization of styles by geographical areas.
Pre-Romanesque art The multiple styles developed in Europe are named from the coronation of Charlemagne (year 800) until around the year 1000, where the appearance of the Romanesque will mean the dissemination of the same unitary style throughout the entire European continent. This meaning is simply a way of encompassing a series of independent styles and with few or no common factors, with the sole binder of being predecessors of the Romanesque internationalization.
Byzantine art Romanesque art represents the first international character style of Western European culture, with a fully consolidated identity after the transition from Latin to vernacular languages. Eminently religious, almost all Romanesque art was aimed at the exaltation and dissemination of Christianity. Emerged in the mid-eleventh century, it developed primarily during the twelfth century, at the end of which it began to coexist with the incipient Gothic. In the Romanesque the various styles produced by the Pre-Romanesque culminated, while denoting the oriental influence of Byzantine art.
