Most, if not all of the art was religious and was meant to depict scenes from the Bible. The art was 2-dimensional and was made of Tempera paint which had an egg yolk base, this is why the art is usually cracked and the color is muted. The Middle ages began in 476 AD after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and is considered to have ended in the 15th century. Some notable Middle Age artists include Giotto di Bondone and Cimabue with his "Maestà di Santa Trinità". Interestingly, Cimabue was so haughty and proud that if someone pointed out to him any mistake or defect in his work, or if he had noted any himself...he would immediately destroy the work, no matter how precious it might be.
