Women in Art

Byzantine Art was the style of art used in the early Middle Ages. During this time, women of authority were often depicted in artwork.

Renaissance art typically aimed to capture the essence of the individual and the beauty of nature and was typically more lifelike than other art of the Middle Ages. Portraits of women were used to convey beauty and social role.
