How+did+new+ideas+and+knowledge+change+the+Renaissance+Worldview?

Summary: New ideas and knowledge, like humanism, changed the way the renaissance people looked at their art and their beliefs. For example the depth and perception was different in the way they formed or painted the human body. They added more depth to their art and started to use shadow and to make it look more realistic. It also changed the way they thought about god, so instead of looking forward to the afterlife they did more to live better lives and make the most out of it.

- The new ideas changed their way of thinking about the different things that mother nature has to offer - The discovery of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures and paintings brought in new ideas and improved the Renaissance way of thought - The Belvedere torso sculpture inspired people to rethink their portal of depth and the human body’s wholeness - This was a key event in the development of the Renaissance: changed the way people saw the world - The Renaissance was one of the most ‘notable’ eras.

Picture: This is the Belvedere's Torso, a sculpture that had been created in ancient Greece and re discovered during the Renaissance's period. This sculpture and many other discoveries, inspired many artist to re think about their art. This led to the use of more techniques, like shadow and depth. The picture showing Mary holding Jesus was painted during the Middle Ages. It does not have the same depth or effect as a Renaissance painting. It doesn't look as realist either. For example the baby looks like a little man. The picture with the woman and baby was painted by Raphael. This painting has use of more techniques. Raphael used shadowing and depth and he also made it look as realistic as possible.
