Changes in the Human Figure in Art

You likely noticed that during the two hundred years covered in this week’s study there were radical changes in how the human figure is depicted in Italy, from something that was highly stylized to an idealized form that looked more real yet was strongly influenced by the Classical Age of ancient Greece and Rome. In Northern Europe, however, depiction of the human form remained somewhat stylized.

Use the textbook and/or online sources to locate and capture three works of art.

  • one from the Early Renaissance (fourteenth century, 1300–1399)
  • one from the Northern European Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
  • one from the Italian Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)

Your works of art must either be all paintings or all sculptures.
