What is a characteristic of medieval art but not renasissance art?
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.
What method did painters use t achieve a realistic style during the renasissance time?
During the Renaissance, painters employed techniques such as linear perspective, which created the illusion of depth and space on a flat surface. They also utilized chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and shadow, to enhance realism and give volume to figures. Additionally, meticulous attention to human anatomy and the study of nature allowed artists to depict realistic human expressions and landscapes. These methods collectively contributed to the lifelike quality characteristic of Renaissance art.
What role did patrons of the arts play in the development of renasissance ideas?

Their investments not only enabled the production of iconic art and literature but also facilitated the spread of new ideas throughout Europe, fostering an environment where artistic and scientific advancements could thrive. Ultimately, these patrons helped shape the cultural landscape of the Renaissance, making it a pivotal era in Western history.
How does Shakespeare's writing differ from Medieval Literature?
The thoughts of the ignorant: The only book in the medieval times were the bible. And medieval literuture only talked about religion and shakespeare only talked about love and sex. Not true at all. Of course Shakespeare's works cover a lot of ground, and although they do talk about love and sex to be sure, they also talk about revenge, usurpation of power, leadership, the weight of command, revolution, democracy vs. dictatorship, justice, cannibalism, magic, retirement, loansharks, and lots more. And although people in the medieval period (which covers a really really long time, you know) did write about religion, they also wrote a LOT about love and sex. See for example Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, or Chretien de Troyes' Romances, or Malory's Morte D'Arthur, or Andreas Cappelanus's Art of Courtly Love. They also wrote a lot about fighting: The Song of Roland or Beowulf or again Malory for example. Shakespeare's writing differed from medieval writing not in its themes so much, but more in its form. His most famous work is his plays which was a virtually unknown form right up to the beginning of the sixteenth century. Although medieval mystery plays like Everyman are actually quite good, nobody thought of them as literature at the time. His favourite poetic form was the sonnet, a form which arose in the Italian Renaissance with Petrarch and was not a medieval form at all. Only his long poems like Venus and Adonis or The Rape of Lucrece would have been in a form familiar to someone in the England of three centuries earlier. Shakespeare's frequent use of Classical plots, themes and references also is atypical of medieval writing and more typical of the renasissance. But not wholly: two of his plays share Classical plots with the medieval writer Chaucer (who was much admired in Shakespeare's day).
