But for all the death and boredom and stuff, that time period still has a pretty cool atmosphere. Looking at medieval art, there's this super-creepy, like, timelessness: like time doesn't exist, a time vacuum. The pictures are really self-contained. I'm not saying I like the art, just that it has a really phat groove. It was the semi-revivalist painting of Burne-Jones that got me to appreciating the middle-age ambiance.
I'm not saying Burne-Jones is the shit, either: just that all in all, the Middle Ages might just be classic.

I love the colors in the tapestries and manuscripts and how all the mammals have sad human eyes like Circe victims.
Gothic cathedral architecture, including the windows, is sublime.
