Renaissance Humanism in Art

Introduction

Classical Humanism was a major feature  of the Renaissance, which was all about the revival of Greco-Roman  culture. During the Renaissance, scholars began to study ancient  manuscripts of the classical world, including those of Semitic  languages. Artists and architects also looked to the classical past for  inspiration and held the classical style in esteem.  

Step 1

Pick  a work of art from Chapter 7. Identify the title and the artist and, in  300 words, explain how the work of art demonstrates Classical Humanism.  You might need to refer back to the textbook to define your terms.
