Art has undergone many great changes over the years. The Renaissance was one of the biggest steps in this progression.

Because Christianity developed in the Roman Empire, at the beginning Christian artists used Greco-Roman art. The first mention of "Christian" art is near the beginning of the 2nd century. Tertullian described depictions of a shepherd on Christian cups which he saw as reminiscent of the parable of the Good Shepherd. Clement of Alexandria said that Chrisitan seals should only have a dove, a fish or a ship and that swords, bows and the faces of idols were not allowed. All of these were Greco-Roman motifs which were used by non-Christians. Even the Good Shepherd theme had a Greek prototype, the Ram-Bearer which represented Hermes, the shepherd of souls. The Christians used some Greco-Roman depictions and gave them Chrisitan significance. Therefore, in the 1stcentury there was an art which used symbols which could be either no-Christians or Christian depending on the used context. Later the Christians used a more restricted and specific range of symbols which became more closely associated with Christianity, but had Greco-Roman and non-Christian prototypes or affinities with them.

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.
