It is usually taken to mean art produced in Europe during the Middle Ages, a period which extends from the fall of the Roman Empire in the west (ca. 476) to the fall of Constantinople in the east (ca. 1453), and from the start of the Romanesque period in the north (ca. 1000) to the rise of the Renaissance in the south (ca. 1400). During the Medieval period, art was used primarily for religious purposes, and the majority of Medieval art is religious art.
