Why exactly is Renaissance art more realistic and lifelike (especially in its portrayal of human beings) in comparison to Medieval art?

Painting is illusion - making three dimensional people and objects appear rounded on a flat surface. It requires tricks to do that - and skill, and certain materials work better than others.The Greeks knew how to do it long, long ago. They made great sculptures, and though we don’t actually have any of their wall paintings, we do have mosaics which indicate that they grasped the tricks of dimensional rendering.But after the Greeks, Christianity took over the art world, and it had other interests. Mainly, teaching everyone the lessons of Christianity. So the illusions of rounded bodies were waaaaay back on the list. Might even have been thought sensual and sinful. Focusing on the human beings in the story, and the illusion of bodies as the Greeks had portrayed them was explicitly rejected.The point in Medieval art was to tell dramatic, expressive stories of the Church, like Duccio’s Maesta altarpiece for the Siena Cathedral.or less ornate pieces like this one,The point was the Christian story, and this was the case throughout Medieval times.In the Renaissance, not only did the all the sciences advance, including knowledge of anatomy, but also, strides were made in painting - oil paints were developed, the use of tiny brushes, and the technique of layering varnish to create more depth. Along with the humanism of the Renaissance, the philosophy of the culture broadened, and along with it, so did the subjects of art- art reflects culture. One might even say that the illustionistic rendering of the human beings rounded at the same time as their culture and their psyches did.And Christianity was not the only appropriate subject - relationships were seen.Here is The Gonzaga Family, by Andrea Mantegna, a wonderful Renaissance work, full of personality. But the objective of the art is now different, as well as the technical advances that have been made.After the Renaissance, in ensuing centuries, you will see the human figure distorted again. There were periods when solely “common people” were depicted and then only in a rough way, to show lessons about “real life”; other periods - like the Depression years, when workers were depicted with distorted, large, heroic bodies. Art goes through cultural fashions, and the human body is often the vehicle for expressing cultural motifs. “Reality” is a very subjective matter.Thanks Josh, for the A2A.

What is the main conflict in king kong the island of the skull by matthew costello?

First of all there is more than one conflict true, but I would say the main issue is basically about bringing a creature from its home into the city. In order words trespassing on nature. If you look at it from Kong's perspective, they were luring him away from his home with a beautiful girl and then tried to take the girl away. Although Kong, is not an actual creature, we see daily, he can be compared to animals that are kept in zoo's around the world. I hope this helps.

Are Ramayan and Mahabharata real?

This is a silly question. The Mahabharata in 18 volumes is an ENCYCLOPEDIA - it contains everything — philosophy, theology, ethics, history, animal husbandry, astrology, Ayur Veda, architecture, domestic science, politics, myths, legends, humour, romance, war, etc. etc. etc. In fact the Mahabharata itself says that there is nothing in the human world which is not found in it. So what exactly do you want to know is “real”?The Rāmāyana is an EPIC - it is a long poem about Sītā - she is the central protagonist. Just as the Mahābharata is centered on Draupadi — both epics are about the “mangala-sūtra” or “tāli” of these two women, according to a very famous Srivaishnava Acharya - Pillai Lokāchārya.Please try to understand - the ancient Hindus were never interested in HISTORY, they were interested in the quality of human character and the content and evolution of consciousness and modelling ideal behaviour. These epics are not to be mined for historical data - which may or may not be there - history is HIS STORY and not relevant to us - here and now - what is important for us in MY STORY - how do these Epics help you to orient yourself in this crazy world, here and now! What lessons can be learned and what is the implication for adaptive action!Whether Rama actually lived in real time and fought and defeated a 10 headed demon king who flew in a space-ship and kidnapped his wife, after taking the help of monkeys and bears etc. is irrelevant! What matters is what the story MEANS for us and how it modifies our behaviour in beneficial ways.Most of the events and narratives in these epics are like case-studies for us to discuss - Indians are by nature argumentative and they have been arguing over these stories for thousands of years!! So don’t expect this question ever to be put to rest.There have been millions of Kings who’s lives have been documented - do you know of any one now who worships Ramses or Alexander the Great? Do you know of anyone who has been inspired by them and transformed their lives? Do you known anyone who uses any historical King as a role-model? Are their stories still told as means of teaching children values?So again I ask you - If the battles in the Itihasas are proven beyond reasonable doubt to be REAL history - what difference does it make to your life right now? Will you pick up arms and rush out to do battle with the demonic forces of Chaos?Rami Sivan's answer to What is the source of truth in Hinduism?
