Although the building was to undergo a number of changes, it remained largely intact until the seventeenth century. The early Christians turned the temple into a church, adding an apse at the east end. It was probably at this time that the sculptures representing the birth of Athena were removed from the centre of the east pediment and many of the metopes were defaced. The Parthenon served as a church until Athens was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in the fifteenth century, when it became a mosque. In 1687, during the Venetian siege of the Acropolis, the defending Turks were using the Parthenon as a store for gunpowder, which was ignited by the Venetian bombardment. The explosion blew out the heart of the building, destroying the roof and parts of the walls and the colonnade.
The Venetians succeeded in capturing the Acropolis, but held it for less than a year. Further damage was done in an attempt to remove sculptures from the west pediment, when the lifting tackle broke and the sculptures fell and were smashed. Many of the sculptures that were destroyed in 1687, are now known only from drawings made in 1674, by an artist probably to be identified as Jacques Carrey.

They paint using color combinations not found in naturalistic paintings. Italian Mannerists include the artists Parmigianino, Pontormo, and Vasari. This style of painting is identified with almost the opposite of naturalistic painting. To achieve this , painters would distort the human forms and objects. They create images outside of how nature presented them, and often used fanciful artificial shapes and unrealistic proportions to achieve this. They also use an extreme form of the technique called chiaroscuro, this is the use of a dark background to highlight a subject in bright light.
