at the time
Does the last sentence of the following context imply "However, the art of that period did not often represent such acts of brutality that happened during that period"?

Context:
Furthermore, the missionary zeal of church leaders led to ‘crusades’ nearer to home to root out so-called heretics such as the Albigensians in south-west France, whom troops virtually annihilated in the name of Christianity. The fear-inducing medieval Inquisition is another grim feature of the period. Art, however, did not often record these battles at the time.

Answer

At the time the art was created, it did not reflect or portray the events that were happening THEN, at THAT particular time.

Answer

Hi  John Zust. My main question is about the role of "at the time". Does it imply "the art of that period did not represent those battles and brutalities in that period, but they were depicted in the art of next periods"?

Answer

It sounds more like it is talking about the battles specifically, not the brutality. But i could be wrong.
