the human form)– Chiaroscuro to create a more realistic picture, single
light source from the right, modeling the human anatomy to give figures weight
– Balanced, symmetrical composition

Neoplatonism• A compilation of Platonic, Aristotelian and Stoic
ideas that experienced a strong revival during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Central to the philosophy is the notion that spiritual things are real and that material things are not. The freeing of the spiritual element, the soul, from the material element, the body, should be the ultimate goal of all of mankind and could be achieved through knowledge and contemplation.
