This study examines how artistic production and ideological change are related in pre-modern Western social formations. It analyzes the characteristics of art in various historical periods to show how art practices shape mainstream ideologies within specific social structures. The focus is on the symbolic codes of ancient artworks and their cultural contexts and how these relate to shifts in ideological paradigms. The paper uses art history, conceptual history, social anthropology, and philosophical hermeneutics to build a theoretical framework for analyzing art and ideology, emphasizing art’s role as a material carrier of social consciousness in recording history and promoting conceptual innovation.
