Fantasy Epic Battle
Understanding contemporary fantasy art involves more than appreciating illustrations for movies, books, magazines, and videogames of the fantasy genre. Fantasy art concerns mythological, magical, and supernatural themes. The history of fantasy art can be traced back to antiquity when artists treated mythological characters in their stories, poems, and images. By the Italian Renaissance, artists concerned with Greek and Roman mythological characters were actually creating fantasy art. As a genre, fantasy art does not receive formal recognition and legitimacy like other art movements involves more than appreciating illustrations for movies, books, magazines, and videogames of the fantasy genre. Fantasy art concerns mythological, magical, and supernatural themes.
