A key characteristic of medieval art is its focus on religious themes and an emphasis on symbolism, often prioritizing spiritual representation over realism. Figures in medieval art are typically stylized and lack proportionality, contrasting with Renaissance art's emphasis on naturalism, perspective, and human anatomy. Additionally, medieval art often features flat, two-dimensional depictions, whereas Renaissance art embraces depth and three-dimensionality.

Creativity? Originality? Imajunation? That's all i can think of..
