Art history traces how styles changed across centuries. The Gothic age reached upward in soaring cathedrals, and the Renaissance revived classical ideals with the wall painting called fresco. Baroque work brought drama and motion, Romanticism chased feeling, and Realism turned to ordinary life. Later, Impressionism captured fleeting light, Cubism broke form apart, and Surrealism drifted into dreams. Each movement had its patron. This puzzle gathers eleven of those terms.
