In this essay, we discuss contemporary art and how it has contributed in discussing about identity and diversity in the society. In the world of art, Identity is used a lot in describing the life of the moment the piece of work was made from the present time. Identity in art is viewed as being the custom, social interaction and arts of a particular people, nation or a certain social group. It is an appreciation of the arts of the people of that time and what they achieved in the moment.

[...] His works expressed diversity in all senses, in terms of religion, social class and political class. Conclusion With regard to Identity and diversity, Da Vinci's work was mostly religious oriented and seemed to support so much the needs of the monks and the King and what the society would look like in the eyes of these two classes.
