In this chapter it was interesting to see how much of the art was influenced by biblical ideals and meanings. So much of the art portrays scenes taking place within the church, or scenes from the bible. Today, many people still paint stylistically scenes from the bible, so the influence from the old European art still influences some art mediums today.

I noticed that as well. I think that biblical scenes are so common because these images are used as a type of propaganda to increase our exposure to these biblical figures or stories in order to familiarize us with them. Possibly swaying our beliefs.
