Answer: Renaissance art was influenced by the art of classical times while medieval art was not.
Explanation:
Renaissance art came during a period when Europe was experiencing a change in its belief structure. Their thoughts on science, religion and politics changed and so art had to change as well.
One way it did was to move away from the Medieval style of painting art that was meant to convey Christian values as the Church was quite powerful then. With Europeans becoming less driven by religion, they began to paint based on other subjects the most popular of which was Classicism with a particular focus on the Greeks and the Romans.
