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 tried to show the christian religion in the best light possible.
renaissance art attempted to unite people under a common cause.
renaissance art was used to frighten people into staying true to their religion.

Explanation:

Renaissance art emphasized realism. Realistic details in art can evoke emotions. For example, a realistic depiction of a sad scene in a painting can make viewers feel sorrow. The other options are incorrect. Medieval art also often showed Christianity (so option B is not a unique effect of Renaissance art). There's no indication that Renaissance art was mainly about uniting under a common cause (option C) or scaring people into religion (option D).

Answer:

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