The Medieval period, also known as the Middle Ages , is an era that lasted from the fall of the Roman Empire to the start of the Renaissance, which occurred from approximately the 5th century to the 15th century. Between this time, there were multiple advancements in art and architecture, but due to popular perception of the era, recurring motifs, and difficulties in periodization, this page will encompass a survey of the entire artistic history. For further reading, please see art history sources of greater depth.

Much writing and art carried out in medieval times has not survived, leading to many popular errors in media and basic assumptions about the time period being true. In Western countries, perceptions of this time period often leave out Eastern and Southern Europe and the mostly forgotten history of various immigrants from Africa and the west of Afro-Eurasia in general and their impact on feudalism and the impact of other cultures such as the Islamic world on matters such as art as well.
