Stokstad

Also, while Stokstad discusses "National Styles in Gothic Art", i have chosen the concept of "Regional" to talk about "nations" is to see into the future. At the time, no one could imagine the concept of nation - prinicpalities and traditional lines of succession; yeah, even the Holy Roman Empire as it declared itself - but nations? Hmmmm. Well, onward.... -[

Late Roman/Early Christian

Constantine: Byzanine Art

Non-Christian Art

At this point, we should consider the influence and non-influence of the Roman Empire on regions just beyond its reach, as well as art groups that resisted its authority; eg, the Jewish and other religions that persisted in only paying lip service to the Roman Gods, etc. We tend to have a major problem with our nationalism -- indeed as Einstein said, "Nationalism is [one of] the greatest plagues ever foisted on humankind." (not an exact quote). For as artists, we dip in and borrow/steal where it pleases us - more often than not taken with an odd bit of culture and such that we chance upon in our travels. Thus: Onward!
