How has religion affected art?
Absolutely. For instance, during the Renaissance period, religious paintings were typically very realistic and detailed to portray biblical stories more accurately. In contrast, during the Baroque period, art often depicted more dramatic religious scenes, such as martyrdom or scenes of punishment for sinners.
Yes, that's a good point. The materials and colors used in religious art also changed over time. For example, before the Renaissance, the church favored Byzantine-style mosaics, while in the Baroque era, oil paint was more commonly used.
