Syncretism involves the joining of diverse traditions and beliefs. Syncretism is most commonly found in religious contexts. Syncretism occurs when different traditions, beliefs, and art forms are combined into one tradition. Syncretism can also be found in other settings. Syncretism is often caused by cultural politics or religion.
It is considered a form art.
Synchronism can be used to describe a mixture of two types of art. It can refer either to the formal characteristics and historical processes of two different art types, or to cultural contexts. Syncretism is often seen as early Christian and Jewish art.
Both scientists and artists have used syncretism to their advantage. One example is Roman Collosium. This structure was constructed in the shape a rectangular green garden. It used an aqueduct to transport water. Another example of syncretism can be found in the Temple of Solomon.
Historically, the idea of merging religious and cultural practices was first recorded by Plutarch, who wrote that syncretism is when two or more groups of people try to join forces against a common enemy. This common enemy could be religious, militarily, or politically, but it can also be a habitual one.
