This Image is not Renaissance, but Middle Age. First there is No perspective, meaning its almost 100 percent 2D, The shading is bad and there is little detail. For this reason this piece of Art is not a Renaissance. If you want more evidence this painting does not have the same facial detail as true pieces of art. Hope I helped.

Answer: It does not represent artistic themes and a technique developed during the Renaissance, but during the Medieval Church Iconography

Explanation: This picture of Jesus of Nazareth has its own name and it is an icon that depicts Christ's Transfiguration. In the picture, beside to Christ, Moses and the prophet Elijah from the Old Testament are shown, who appear to him during his transformation. Below are three Christ's Apostles who watched His Transfiguration in a miracle. This is a typical picture of early Christianity, and as such is a masterpiece of Church art. This technique of painting was used by the Middle Ages, which is characteristic of medieval iconography.

So since this is a medieval icon, it is certainly not a work of Renaissance art. The artistic techniques of painting developed during the Renaissance are completely different, the perspective is emphasized, also light and nature, while humanism dominate as a motive. Renaissance techniques have achieved a perspective, i.e. a sense of three dimensions.

This depiction of the image of Jesus of Nazareth is painted completely by different techniques, natural colors used made of plants, the religious motive is emphasized, no perspective because the purpose of this painting is completely different, which does not mean that there is no value.
