What was the diffrence between renaissance art and medieval art?
Medieval art, on the other hand, was far more symbolic than purely representational. For example, human subjects in medieval paintings and frescos were often sized as to importance, rather than their position in a scene… Such that Priests and saints would be painted as larger than common folks, and Jesus painted larger than everybody else. These were their ‘theological’ sizes, as opposed to the sizes in relation to their surroundings.
