There are cave drawings, sculptures, Egyptian art, Greek Art, Modern Art and plenty more but to many, the Renaissance Art period is considered to be most important. Never had so many geniuses in art lived at one time and never had so many pieces of cherished art been produced. Two examples of Renaissance paintings are Cigoli’s Adoration of the Shepherds and Moretto da Brescia’s Entombment. Both paintings posses the attributes that were popular during the Renaissance period which I will now contrast and compare.

Art in the Medieval Times was dreary and bland. Many works of art were solely about God or holy figures. The most obvious change from the Renaissance to Medieval Times was the arts, according to Document A and also that “One begins to know the names of the artists ... feel stronger emotions in the subjects”. This shows that Renaissance art not only changed in style, in changed in how it made the viewer feel when seeing the art. Similarly, in Document A, Renaissance art is described as “new artistic styles would echo the broader movements and interests of the new age.…”.

The individual in the Medieval Times was supposed to take away from the painting that the only thing that mattered in their life was the Roman Catholic church and God already had a plan for their lives.

Religion has driven the creation of multiple renowned artistic innovations and visual marvels. Throughout Europe, religion played a huge role alongside the people being not only a belief system, but also having governmental control over political institutions. Throughout Europe’s medieval era and onwards, religion played a huge part in artistic culture. Art was used primarily to convey religious concepts and decorate places of religious worship. Gothic architecture is a prime example, many fresco paintings from in the fourteenth century were created in Christian churches, depicting tales from the bible as well as the Virgin Mary and her son. As the years past the styles and techniques for portraying religious artwork progressed and evolved with fresco mural paintings such as Giotto di Bondone’s Meeting of Joachim and Anna, as well as Jan van Eyck’s Double Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife.

When we look at the history of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, we always like to use the confinement of thinking and the liberation of ideas to sum up the two, especially in the art, the medieval paintings are often used in dark colors, deformed three-dimensional concept Showing the real world, and often less a bit human nature.
