Answer 1

The correct answer is letter A

The Renaissance is the historical period of Europe that succeeds the Middle Ages, beginning in the middle of the 14th century until the end of the 16th century. However, there is no specific milestone, event or date for the beginning of this period, and it happened naturally and gradually.

In artistic terms, the Renaissance will succeed Gothic, and its main characteristic is its approach to Antiquity. But the aim of the Renaissance artist was not to copy the greatness and excellence of Classical art, but to match these creations.

During this period, artists (of Fine Arts) are no longer considered mere artisans and are seen as intellectual men. This change in attitude towards the artist led to the collection of works of art, since everything that came out of the hands of a master was considered of great value.

There are also workshops, which will later lead to the creation of academies, and artists gain more freedom, functioning almost as entrepreneurs.
