The golden ratio is a proportion where the ratio of the longer part to the whole is equal to the ratio of the shorter part to the longer part. Many artists and architects have used the golden ratio in their works believing it creates aesthetically pleasing designs. Structures like the Parthenon, Taj Mahal, Pyramids of Giza, and UN Secretariat Building incorporate the golden ratio in aspects of their design like column heights, window widths, and geometric floor plans. The golden ratio is also found in patterns in nature like pinecones, shells, and the human face.

The document discusses developments in painting, sculpture, and architecture between the Medieval and Renaissance periods in Europe. For painting, it notes a shift from religious themes done in dark colors for the church to more secular, bright works often treated as art. Sculpture moved from rigid, abstract religious figures to more realistic and naturalistic secular works. Architecture evolved from the thick-walled, small-windowed Romanesque style to the tall, arched Gothic style, and then to more mathematically-planned Renaissance buildings with open spaces.

Early Christian art from the 3rd to 5th centuries featured simple symbols like fish and anchors that represented Christ. Themes included stories from the Old Testament and miracles of Christ. As Christianity became legalized in the 4th century, images of Jesus and Mary proliferated. Art was found in catacombs, sarcophagi, and churches that emulated Roman architectural styles.

The document summarizes the ongoing debate around the ownership of the Parthenon Marbles. It outlines the key arguments from both the British and Greek sides. The British Museum claims they have a legitimate right to the Marbles and that they are better preserved in London. Greece argues the Marbles were illegally removed from the Parthenon and are crucial to Greek cultural heritage and should be returned. There is no clear legal resolution to the long-running dispute between the two countries over the statues and sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens.
