Question

question 6 of 10
the movement of humanism was set in motion by:

a. the increasing wealth of european artists.
b. the introduction of mathematical principles into art.
c. new advances in artistic techniques.
d. rediscovery of classical art and literature.

Explanation:

The Renaissance Humanism movement was greatly influenced by the rediscovery of Classical (Greek and Roman) art and literature. This rediscovery led scholars and thinkers to focus on human potential, values, and the study of humanities (like literature, history from Classical sources). Options A (artist wealth), B (math in art - more of a later aspect in some art but not the root cause of Humanism movement start), and C (artistic techniques - again, a later development in art during Renaissance but not the trigger for Humanism) are not the main causes. The core was looking back to Classical works to shape a new intellectual and cultural movement centered on human - centered study and values.

Answer:

D. rediscovery of Classical art and literature.
