Perhaps the most iconic period of artistic expression in the history of
modern humankind, the Renaissance represented more than just a change in
artistic styles. Emerging in Italy around the 1400s, through the
patronage of such influential family dynasties as the Medicis and with
support of the Popes of this period, this artistic style was the
illustration of a paradigm shift in how people viewed the world. As you
appreciate renaissance art and compare it to the art of previous
centuries, you will notice a distinct shift from modest depictions of
figures to a fuller appreciation of the human body. This shift in style
is due in part to the greater availability of philosophical texts due to
the wide adoption of movable type. Further, as Europeans gained access
to advanced mathematics pioneered by the Islamic scholars of previous
centuries, a greater emphasis was placed on the scale and geometry of
art, providing greater literal dimension to these works as well as a
deeper level of meaning than could be imbued to previous European works.
