Throughout the Renaissance, artists moved from depicting religious motifs to depicting humans in all their glory. You can see this in paintings and sculptures by people like Da Vinci and Michelangelo. Humans were put up front instead of the Church. Nothern Europe, however, was much more conservative than Italy, but they also started going towards liberation of people.

The style of
the Amarna art<span>, or the Amarna style, diverted from the
standard Egyptian ideals and conventions in some dictinct ways when it comes to
art. The </span>Ancient Egyptian art was known to have a reputation which was <span>slow to alter. The art of the Amarna period was
known to be a significant and sudden break from its predecessor. This was
restored after the death of Akhenaten. The art is distinctly characterized by a
sense of movement and activity in images. The images and figures have raised
heads, many figures overlapping and many scenes busy and crowded. The images
with human bodies are portrayed with slender, swaying, and with exaggerated
extremities. Temples during this period were also different in ways that in
this period they were smaller, with sanctuaries open to the sun, containing
large number of altars. Another distinct feature was they had no closing doors. </span>
