学界普遍认为伴随着罗马帝国的衰落,罗马的艺术也随之走向了衰落,但我们通过历史的考察和理性的分析后发现,晚期罗马的艺术并不是彻底走向衰落,而是一种转型,即从古典异教艺术转向基督教艺术。这种转型标志着另一种新的占统治地位的艺术即基督教艺术在西欧的确立,不仅催生了欧洲杰出的艺术,且对后世产生了不可估量的影响。 It is generally accepted by the academic community that along with the decline of the Roman Empire, the art of Rome will also decline accordingly. However, through historical investigation and rational analysis, we find that the art of late Rome did not completely decline, but rather a transformation From classical paganism to Christianity. This transformation marked another new dominant art, the establishment of Christian art in Western Europe, which not only spawned the fine arts of Europe but also had an immeasurable impact on future generations.
