Today, the chART squad jumps in the DeLorean once more to travel back to a different era for the arts. In this occasion, we hit the brakes at the end of the 5th century, when Classical Antiquity crumbled into the thousand-year-long Middle Ages. The fall of the Roman Empire meant a paradigm shift in the arts in Europe and North Africa. The following centuries (known as the Dark Ages) saw the end of monumental architecture and grandiose marble statues. Sculptors and illustrators poured their talents into the elaboration of religious art: reredos, altarpieces, retables, and icons meant to be placed atchapels and churches, not plinths in squares and gardens. Join our team of top-notch researchers to learn more about arts during one of Europe’s most obscure and mysterious periods in history. Oh, and whatever you do, don’t drop a sports almanac while we’re visiting the 5 th century!
