Answer 2

The Renaissance was a period of great cultural flowering that started in Italy during the Middle Ages. This period also sparked interest in art and education throughout Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ancient Greek and Roman artists crafted sculptures, pottery, murals, and mosaics to express the importance of ordinary people and civic leaders, as well as gods and goddesses. Artworks created by medieval artists, including stained glass windows, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, paintings, and tapestries, served primarily as religious teaching tools for those who could not read or write. Medieval art was less influential on Renaissance artists than classical art was. These artists created sculptures, murals, drawings, and paintings using various techniques. People and nature were emphasized throughout Renaissance art, not just religious ideas. The Byzantine Empire had preserved much classical learning, which merchants and crusaders brought back with them from the East by the late Middle Ages.
