Renaissance Art
The art of the Renaissance and the art of the Middle Ages were two different styles of art. Even though there are definite differences there are also a couple similarities. The similarities are that they both had a huge religious feel in their artwork and a lot of it was painting instead of sculpting or stained glass. The differences are that the Middle Ages artwork has barely any knowledge to it. The only thing the Middle Ages has is religious work. The Renaissance artwork has a lot of anatomy and knowledgeable feel to it. There will be paintings on peoples body parts and the makeup of their body in a painting. This shows that the sophistication of the artwork has come a long way since the Middle Ages. Now the art can teach people as well as show passion from the artists point of view. The public is now learning how to involve learning of sciences and math in their art and influence their artwork.
