Conclusion

I think the artists conceptualized the same theme throughout time because it is our natural, human instinct to desire relationships. Relationships often tell a lot about the customs of that time period and can give a lot of insight to a culture.

I think the values/concerns of the societies are reflected in the works because artists wanted to reflect their beliefs and the beliefs of their society/people.

I think particular themes and images transcend time and are visualized in every age because they are relatable and part of a human's natural instinct/will.
