• Contrast the medieval worldview with that of the Renaissance. What was the role of the individual during the Middle Ages? During the Renaissance? What was the role of the artist in each period? To what may we attribute the shift in perspective? Explain.
• Citing specific artwork from Chapter Twelve, explore the artistic balance between Classical and Christian prerogatives. Which of the artists in the chapter had the most success balancing and/or synthesizing the two ideologies?
