Medieval art was mostly focused on portraying Religion; they focused on bringing out the concepts/morals of Christianity, not at all focused on creating realistic figures.

The Renaissance means the rebirth, in this case the "rebirth of Classical Greek/Roman art" which focused intently on realism. Religion was not a major factor, whereas the artists' intent was not to show/bring out morals values of a particular religion. Art techniques were also revived, especially the Classical type of artwork/sculpture of a particular figure or painting, which seemed lost during the art of the Medieval.

How was renaissance art differ from medieval art?

Medieval art was mostly religious and concerned with conveying Christian beliefs and values. Renaissance art was less focused on religion and more focused on the daily life of people. The style of renaissance painting itself was also much more realistic than medieval art, meaning that renaissance artists were very concerned with proportions and showing the details of their subject.The Renaissance was a period of revolutionary change in politics, science, religon and especially art. The biggest difference between Renaissance art and Medieval art was the focus on artisitic realism. Famous artists like Davinci and Michelangelo developed the use of depth and perspective drawing. The idea of foreshortening was also discovered here. The Renaissance also allowed a time for artists to focus their craft more on the world and the nature of man opposed to religion and secular beliefs. Art also helped the economy because art socially reflected how wealthy a family was to others. There are 6 main charcteristics surrounding Renaissance art that differentiates it from medival art, which are: the use of expression, the use of perspective ("vanishing point"), the use of classicism (Greek/Roman influenced), emphasis on the individual, the geometrical arrangement of figures and the use of shadowing. Medival art was beautiful, but Renaissance art was very 3 dimentional and life-like. Michelangelo's David sculpture is said to be so realistic that it looks as though it is breathing. It is truly amazing that someone could have sculpted that beautiful statue out of one solid piece of marble. This is how Renaissance art greatly differs from Medieval art.
