Renaissance paintings show figures in earthly settings; figures in medieval paintings have heavenly gold backgrounds.
Early Renaissance paintings depicted religious themes with a greater emphasis on realism, human emotion, and the natural world, reflecting a shift towards humanism. Artists began to use techniques such as linear perspective and chiaroscuro to create depth and dimension, resulting in more lifelike figures. In contrast, Middle Ages paintings often featured flat, stylized figures and a lack of perspective, focusing more on conveying spiritual messages than realistic representation. This shift marked a significant evolution in artistic approach and the portrayal of sacred subjects.
