  expects to encounter in the underworld. Note the stylized manner in which the painting's figures are

  shown, which is unique to ancient Egyptian art.

  emphasized stylized forms over natural ones. These paintings are found in churches, as these were intended

  to create a sense of wonder for the Greek Orthodox church.
• Romanesque Painting

  These paintings flourished from around 1000-1200 BCE and are characterized by strict frontal poses, which

  were flat and stylized. These were murals which were painted on the walls of the insides of churches, and styles

  varied greatly, depending on the location. The paint could be applied on moist or dry plaster, and could also be

  made of colored, melted wax.
• Gothic Painting

  Gothic painting moved from the stylized style of the Romanesque to a more natural one. The use of chiaroscuro -

  the interplay between light and shadow - and foreshortening, as well as more lifelike proportions, became typical

  of this style.
