Question

which statement best explains how the development of humanism during the renaissance affected artists differently than during the middle ages?

renaissance artists focused more on creating human, lifelike figures than medieval artists did

renaissance artists focused less on creating human, lifelike figures than medieval artists did

renaissance artists focused more on creating religious, powerful figures than medieval artists did

renaissance artists focused less on creating religious, powerful figures than medieval artists did

Explanation:

During the Renaissance, humanism emphasized the value of human beings, leading artists to focus more on realistic, lifelike human figures. Medieval art often had more stylized, less lifelike representations, and was more focused on religious themes (but the key difference in figure representation here is the lifelike focus in Renaissance). So the correct statement is that Renaissance artists focused more on creating human, lifelike figures than Medieval artists did.

Answer:

A. Renaissance artists focused more on creating human, lifelike figures than Medieval artists did
