Medieval European oil painting

Medieval (Medieval? Ages) (about 476 ~ 1453) is an era in European history (mainly in western Europe). From the demise of the western Roman Empire hundreds of years later (476), the feudal system ruled the world until the Renaissance (453), capitalism rose. The word "Middle Ages" was used by humanists in the late15th century. Europe in this period did not have a strong regime to rule. Feudal separatism brought frequent wars, which led to the stagnation of science and technology and productivity, and people lived in hopeless pain. Therefore, the Middle Ages or early Middle Ages are generally called "dark ages" in Europe and America. Traditionally, it is considered as a period of relatively slow development in the history of European civilization.

Medieval European painting was dominated by religious themes, and the themes describing ordinary people's daily life (such as weddings) did not appear until the end of 13, and gradually became popular in the late Renaissance.

According to the definition of medieval time, Jan Van Eyck's The Wedding of Anofini (1434) is more appropriate. ?

—————————— I am a great dividing line.

Answer the landlord's' supplementary question':

1. Understand the landlord's original intention: to ask for oil paintings depicting medieval wedding scenes (or customs) in the West (Europe). Is it?

2. There are several concepts here: the Middle Ages, oil painting, and the choice of artists' creative themes.

3. There was no oil painting in the Middle Ages, so there was no oil painting in the Middle Ages, and there was no oil painting with wedding theme; As for the artistic creation of wedding themes (murals, egg-colored paintings, sketches and sculptures), it is limited to religious (Christian) themes. The contents of the Bible (the old and new covenants), the foundation of Christianity, all took place before the Middle Ages, and the subsequent Christian legends suppressed human nature, so there was no such scene as a wedding.

4. From the invention of oil painting by Van Eyck brothers in15th century to the late Renaissance, writers chose either biblical content, myths and legends, or the contemporary life they were familiar with, and they almost had no right to freely choose themes. There should be no oil paintings depicting "dark age" (medieval) weddings. Even if there is, who can I sell it to? Even commissioned paintings should belong to personal or family collections, and none of them have been handed down.

The future era is a colorful and splendid one. There should be oil paintings depicting "dark age" (medieval) weddings, but they are too small.

Besides, I know everything. . . "It seems that I can see the cold air from the nose of the landlord.
