Middle Ages
•saints in paintings wore halos around their heads•hieratic scale: representing the sizes of things according to their importance, rather than how they would appear in the real world •saints or members of the family of God larger in scale than ordinary or less important figures

The Art of the
Italian Renaissance
The act of painting would no longer be to glorify God, as it had been in Medieval Europe. Painting in the Renaissance
related instead, to those people looking at the painting.

Art and Patronage
Italians were willing to spend a lot of money on art.
Art communicated social, political, and spiritual values.
Italian banking & international trade interests had the money.
Public art in Florence was organized and supported by guilds.
Therefore, the consumption of art was used as a form of competition for social & political status!
