The Middle Ages were some dark times. With murder and pillaging being part of everyday life, it's a wonder anyone survived it. But because of the chill attitude towards killing and death, medieval art depicts it somewhat disturbingly, giving us a potential insight into the times' mindset. As you can see in the medieval artwork below, the people getting murdered don't seem to give a d*mn; the victims look bored, and the murderers look like they're having a great time. I guess when murder is normalized, it isn't that big of a deal anymore? What a strange time to be alive!
