What will be an ideal response?
The change in aesthetic values was related to the iconoclast movement which rejected the presence of religious images for fear of practicing idolatry. Commissions of religious art evaporated so other styles took over, such as portraiture and landscapes. Cycle paintings, while not religious in theme, often had some moral message.
