Art history timeline


Hello everyone!
Is a little difficult make an art history timeline in so few words, but in art are many important thing for a linear development and different periods or in other case different form to see any case in particular, but because exist in our area a linear way to present the artistic culture based on the western art, I will continued this arbitrary style.
For begin I would like to mention the prehistoric age around 25.000-8000 a. C. the people make drawing in caves with naturals pigments who represent for they mystically thing and was part of religions rituals. The most know of this cave is the Altamira.
 Then we have the classical art in Greece and Rome where is very important the sculpture and the architecture and who is the continuous referent for all western art and one of his popular art is the victory of Samothrace who doesn’t have head and it’s part of Hellenistic  period of Greece.
About Rome we can do the reference to the architecture with the Coliseo, place where the people would entertain and not only have a artistic propose also have a politic system, we have remember that this culture was very politic for all the thing that they do its reflex of this.     
And then we have the medieval epoch and after that the renaissance art that was born in Italy in the XV century. This art have a referent for the architecture too and this is filippo Brunelleschi who is credited whit the inventions of perspective. One of his most famous works is the “cupula de Santa Maria del fiore”.
 This is all for today but it is clearly a bounded chronology.
See you soon !
