The same reason philosophy, literature, most scientific achievement, and general living standards were crappy.

Abysmal literacy, combined with the annihilation of Roman infrastructure and thousands of years of knowledge, rampant tribalism, and a convoluted political system which stymied innovation and guaranteed pointless conflict.

>>2678054
This is the worst possible example you could've used. The Goths were total Romaboos, maybe only surpassed by the Franks.

>>2678069
realism doesn't matter if the art looks like a retarded picasso painting

Paintings were bad because all the money was in architecture and sculpture. Pic related is from an 11th century french church.

the modern period is 641 years old you heard it here first.
I'll give you that 1376 is the end of the high medieval period but it's roughly 520 years earlier then the modern period

Are you feeling alright, anon?

>>2679532
Yeah, it's weird. Let's say art is subjective. But the medieval period didn't produce an Elements, an Almagest or a On Floating Bodies either.

Similarly much of the technological improvement came from appropriating outside sources.

It was only towards the late Middle Ages that Europe, and its Western part at that, started operating on a similar level, only until early modern times when it was being surpassed.

You're being selective just to prove your point.
