Question

1. the art of the renaissance is more realistic in its details than the art of the middle ages. what effect is this type of art meant to have on people?

renaissance art seeks to provoke emotions associated with the details in the painting or sculpture.
renaissance art was used to frighten people into staying true to their religion.
renaissance art tried to show the christian religion in the best light possible.
renaissance art attempted to unite people under a common cause.

Explanation:

Renaissance art emphasized realism. Realistic details in art can evoke emotions. For example, a detailed painting of a sad scene can make viewers feel sad. The other options are not as directly related to the effect of realistic details. Option 2 (frightening for religion) is more of a Middle - Ages - like use of art (e.g., some religious art in the Middle Ages with harsh imagery). Option 3 (showing religion in the best light) is not about the effect of details. Option 4 (uniting under a common cause) is a more general and less specific effect compared to emotion - provoking through details.

Answer:

Renaissance art seeks to provoke emotions associated with the details in the painting or sculpture.
