God in Paintings
The inner-dependence of the Christian God and Christian man intertwine with the expression of the medieval art. Art takes the human as a measure of the divine. The conception of divine unlike the Greek which depicted gods in forms of symbolic animals is no longer vague it is determinate to be sensuously embodied in fine art. Its essential massage is to conform a form of god in its architecture, paintings, music and writings. The idea of the God is so simple to them that it can be expressed in form of a man in a sensuous medium for instance the God in Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam.
The art however did become independent of god and religion. Art losses the internal harmony that it displayed in the classical times, it points to a meaning which art itself cannot fully express. It becomes Allegory
