Question

During the Renaissance, how did the emphasis on education, science, and the study of classical Greece and Rome affect artistic expression
A. Art became more impressionistic.
B. Art became increasingly realistic.
C. Art became increasingly religious.
D. Art became more practical and useful.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the option B. During the Renaissance art was focused on human nature and beauty, an artist was depicted living life and showing emotion even on religious works. Thanks to Patrons, artist improved in perspective and light and shadow techniques and painting look more realistic and three-dimensional.  It's not the option A, because impressionism was a 19th-century art movement so art became more impressionistic in 1870-1880. It's not the option C, because religious was more a theme than an artistic expression, an artist also painted mythological and history paintings at that time. And finally is not the option D, because Renaissance was a period of transition from ancient times to modern times, their inventions and artistic expression help us to make what we have today, art is more practical nowadays and useful but not at that time.
