What was the impact of the Black Death on the arts in fourteenth-century Europe?
What is a ideal response include?
Answer: It killed a ton of people. So looking over the fact that many potentially artists were killed in that time by this disease, it also really dimmed the morale of all the people who survived. We can see in the art from that time that everything has a dark, dim, and sometimes biblical "we are in the apocalypse" type of aura. Many pieces were depicting the death from the disease, and angles flying around. Overall, everyone was depressed because people kept dying, they didn't have showers, and they didn't know what to do. So they started painting and they put their views of their life into the art.
