Morality
The idea of right and wrong, and how people should behave.
What is it?
Morality is about knowing the difference between good and bad. In art, morality is often shown through stories that teach a lesson. For example, a painting might show a good person going to heaven and a bad person going to hell. "Death and the Miller" is about morality: it reminds us that we should live well because death will come. Many medieval artworks were made to teach people how to be good.
