How did the Religion influence artists and sculptors art during the Renaissance (In Italy)?
Art in Italy at the time of ancient Rome was a tool of the state, and under the patronage of the Catholic Church Italian art almost exclusively dealt with religious subjects, renaissance art in Italy broadened the scope of art. Although much of the most famous renaissance art in Italy is of a religious theme, artists at this time started to focus more on the natural world around them and tried to reflect this in their art. Anatomy became of particular interest to many renaissance artists in Italy and it is believed that during this period art was able to reproduce the human form exactly as it is in real life.
