Paintings of the Crusades in the Middle Ages Between Classical Painting and Artificial Intelligence Midjourney : A Comparative Study

Abstract

Classical painting was able to introduce a number of principles and rules in the field of painting, which were considered a great invention in its time, because the art of painting had been done by painters before that time in a primitive way. The emergence of classical art brought important innovations in the principles of art during its time. The most important principles of classical painting consisted of beauty, harmony, balance, the golden ratio, diversity, design, perspective, beauty of thought, morality, and originality.

One of the most important subjects of classical painting is historical wars. The most prominent wars in the past were the Crusades, which took place in the Middle Ages between Western Christians and Muslims. Midjourney has reproduced works on the same subject.

The emergence of artificial intelligence is considered a major invention in technology. This technology can play a role in many fields, including the art of painting, which has benefited greatly from it. One of the most prominent producers of images is Midjourney. In the production of artistic images—especially in reproducing classical painting styles on various subjects such as war, nature, fantasy, stories, legends, or abstracts—this program has a strong ability in the field of painting.
