Syncretism is the merging of different traditions and beliefs. It typically occurs within religious contexts. Syncretism is the merging of different beliefs, traditions, or art forms into a single tradition. Syncretism can happen in many other contexts, however. Syncretism is often caused by cultural politics or religion.
It is considered a form art.
Syncretism refers to a combination or two of two types. It can refer to the formal characteristics of two different types of art, or it can refer to historical processes or cultural contexts. Syncretism is most often found in early Christian art and Jewish art.
Both scientists and artists have used syncretism to their advantage. One example is Roman Collosium. It is a rectangular structure that used an aqueduct as water supply. Another example of syncretism can be found in the Temple of Solomon.
Plutarch first described the concept of blending religious and cultural practices. He wrote that syncretism was when two or more groups try to work together against a common enemy. It can be religious, political, military, or habitual.
