Protestants

The Protestants are a religion that split from the catholic church. Founded on the beliefs of Martin Luther and major part of it was the iconoclasm that followed. The Protestants felt that the art in churches shouldn't show the divine and destroyed many pieces of art in churches they felt were wrong. Instead Protestant artists focused on regular people and still life art works.

This painting called The Harvesters by Pieter Buregel shows the kind of everyday life that was the focus of artwork.
