The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Indeed, many Renaissance artists painted religious themes, which was typical during the Middle Ages. However, I don't think they should be thought of as medieval artists rather than Renaissance ones because of the following reasons.

First, these artists from Renaissance considere4d themselves different because they wanted to emulate the fantastic work of the classic Greeks and Romans. These artists of the Reinassance wanted to imitate the beauty of ancient Greek and Roman art and architecture.

Another reason is that these artists used different techniques and more vivid colors in their paintings, compared to those from the medieval times

The Renaissance led to major artistic, social, and political changes in Europe. The Renaissance was a time in which authors, thinkers, and artists discover the importance of humans and their capacity to use the mind to reason and not only believe in the religious teachings that dominated and controlled people during the dark ages of the Medieval Times. Renaissance witnessed the advent of magnificent artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci. Michel Angelo, and Rafael.
