Question

Which statements describe Italian renaissance art?

Answer 1

B and C. Explanation not needed

Answer 2

The correct answers are:

B. The art sometimes depicts classical topics or stories.

With the Renaissance art it was tried to retake the Greco-Roman artistic concepts (Greek and Roman). It was, in other words, a return to highlight the ideals of the old age. It is a movement that rescues and highlights classic customs and styles through research: a reinvention of Greco-Roman art  but from a scientific approach.

C. The figures have ideal beauty and physical perfection.

Sculpture in Italian Renaissance art was inspired by the Hellenic period of antiquity and was fundamentally of a religious nature, although the study of  human anatomy was also highlighted. In the field of painting, much focus was placed on the central composition of the theme but also on the use of color, volume, beauty and forms.
