Answer:

d.Nature is presented as wild and uncontrollable.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Art is an area where the cultural change of the Renaissance is most clearly manifested. We can see a complete restoration of the major arts, which we still call today fine arts, to which painting, sculpture and architecture belong. Staying in Italy, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Giorgione, Titian, Rafael and Botticelli are some of the most celebrated representatives, most often engaged in all three arts. In the philosophy of Renaissance art, every aesthetic element carries with it principles and ideas that go beyond appearances. The artist uses the aesthetic medium to guide us from the appearing to the essence: he transcends the image. In this way form can lead to an idea, as Platonic theory of form and idea has already established. Philosophers saw in art a medium through which theories and ideas could become sensible and material, and so many of them were not inclined to art.
  • Particular importance was attached to the arts in general, and especially to the visual arts to which the art of words - poetry and, to a lesser extent, rhetoric, was based.
