For which purpose did some Renaissance artists use corpses?

History
1 answer:
sesenic [268]3 years ago
8 0
Church restrictions on bodies: it was sinful for a person to be without clothing in front of an artist. To create realistic paintings, corpses were used. 

Corpses were used as a model for the human body. Renaissance painters strove for realism and the corpse provided a realistic human image. An alive person would not be able to pose, in particular without clothing, for a painter. This would have been sinful.

Which statement best explains how the Lewis and Clark expedition was a result of U.S. Foreign policy?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The United States purchased land from France so it could expand the size of the nation

Explanation:

The statement that best explains how the Lewis and Clark expedition was a result of U.S. Foreign policy is that "the United States purchased land from France so it could expand the size of the nation"

This is evident in the fact that the Lewis and Clark Expedition that lasted between 1803 to 1806 was made after the Louisiana Purchase.

The purpose of the expedition is to establish a definite path through the newly acquired territory and develop an American presence in the territory before any other European powers attempt to claim the region.
