Syncretism can be described as the merging or combining of different beliefs and traditions. Syncretism usually occurs in religious contexts. Syncretism involves the fusion of previously distinct traditions, beliefs and art forms in one new tradition. Syncretism can also occur in other contexts. Syncretism is often a result of religious and cultural politics.
It is considered a form art.
Synchronism can be described as a combination of two types or art. It can refer both to the formal characteristics between two types of art, as well as historical processes and cultural contexts. Syncretism is often seen early Christian and Jewish art.
Artists and scientists alike have used syncretism in their work. One example is the Roman Collosium, a structure built in the shape of a rectangular garden that utilized an aqueduct to deliver water. The Temple of Solomon, another example of syncretism, is another.
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.
