Ceremonialism in the Art of Painting (from the Middle Ages to Modern Iraq)

Abstract

There was no specific definition of the concept of humanity, as there were many and varied meanings of this concept, which made it take the vague terminology. It is described as an intellectual trend that originated and developed in different eras.  The German Georg Voight worked on this concept or term in 1856.Some philosophical, literary and ethical trends meet at this proclivity.  It has an early beginnings, represented by the Greek philosophers (Thales, Xenovan, and Protagors), especially the latter with his saying (man is the measure of all things). The art of the Renaissance in all European countries aims to revive the ancient Greek art that believes that man is the center of the universe, as well as liberating it from the domination of the Church in the Middle Ages.  It believes that a person should live the life and feel its beauty because it deserves to be lived despite the hardships and difficulties it sometimes endures.Humanism also focused on opposing theology when it made man an element of the divine system.  The humanist thinkers of the Renaissance sought to build a society different from the medieval society in which the clergy and priests were in control, a society under the weight of submission and surrender to circumstances. They were trying to elevate the human being and evaluate him to be rational and effective by relying on himself.
