The Middle Ages
The Roman Empire fell in 476 and it was after that the "middle" or "dark" ages began. This period in history is often seen as a regression, some say that during this time the human race moved backwards, and while this may be true in some aspects of this time period, that is not true of the art that was being created.
There are many different eras of art within the Middle Ages and with them you can see a progression.
