Question

The art of the Renaissance is more realistic than the art of the Middle Ages. Why is this?

Answer 1

Answer:

Renaissance gave importance to the human and his rationality, while Middle Age art was more allegorical and linked to the divine world and its possibilities towards humanity. Middle Age art was also often concerned to represent heavenly and apocalyptic sceneries. The Renaissance celebrated man's intelligence to build and construct and to be the cause for a possibly good life.
