The Early Middle Ages
John the Evangelist page from the Lindisfarne Gospels (c. 635 CE)
As is common in early medieval art, the figures in this page appear flat and stylized. The bench on which John sits does not recede realistically into the space behind him. Modeling is kept to a minimum, and the clothing that John wears does not acknowledge the body beneath.
