What Is The Purpose Of The Artist In Early Christian Art?

I wanted to answer your questions, but found myself looking for the right words... Art tells stories from personal experiences to what's happening, it is also the way the artist sees things whether it be fictional or real. Art changes over years, but it is still art. Different artist create masterpieces and are from different areas and cultures, but it is still art. Religion tends to have a great influence on some artists, and others it has nothing to do with it. The easiest way is to find an artist from each category and compare them and their art with other artists and their work. For one artists purpose is not the same as another even if they are from the same time and place.
