Early Christian art - 260-550 AD (1 ene 260 año – 1 ene 550 año)

Descripción:

The early church fathers rejected the making of images. This rejection, along with the necessity to hide Christian practice from persecution, left behind few early records. What is most likely the oldest Christian art emerged on sarcophagi, and in burial chambers in frescoes and statues, sometime from the late second to the early third-century. This art is symbolic rather than representative. Much of it is a fusion of Graeco-Roman style and Christian symbolism. Jesus as the good shepherd is the most common image of this period.
