Explanation:
In Renaissance painting the figures were arranged in a strictly symmetrical composition, with less rigid forms than the previous paintings. The renaissance paintings had varied colors of cold and warm and the handling of the light allowed to create distances and volumes that seemed to be copied of the reality. The reproduction of the human figure, the expression of its emotions and the movement occupied equally preponderant place. The themes to be represented continued to be of a strictly religious nature, even though with the inclusion of a new element the bourgeoisie wanted to be a protagonist in the history of Christianity. It was not strange, therefore, that the clergy should constantly commission this type of painting, as well as families who wanted to be inserted in the scene of the birth of Christ, or kneeling at the foot of the cross, alongside Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary.

When slavery ended in the United States, freedom still eluded African Americans who were contending with the repressive set of laws known as the black codes. Widely enacted throughout the South following the Civil War—a period called Reconstruction—these laws both limited the rights of Black people and exploited them as a labor source.
