You are correct! Options A and B accurately describe humanist artistic innovations during the Renaissance.
Let's break down each option to understand why they are correct:
A) The architectural style of medieval times was called Romanesque, while the Renaissance revived Greco-Roman ideals: During the Renaissance, there was a renewed interest in the classical Greco-Roman culture. This was reflected in the architecture, as Renaissance architects drew inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman designs. The architectural style of medieval times, on the other hand, was called Romanesque and had different characteristics.
B) Renaissance artists formulated accurate proportions and perspective, making their creations more lifelike: One of the notable innovations of Renaissance artists was their use of accurate proportions and perspective. They studied human anatomy and applied mathematical principles, leading to more realistic and lifelike representations in their art.
Option C is not accurate because Renaissance artists did, in fact, represent God and religious themes in their work. However, they also explored secular subjects and humanist ideas.
Option D is incorrect because it portrays medieval art in a negative light, using terms like "primitive" and "cartoonish." While Renaissance art did focus on realism, it does not mean that medieval art lacked artistic and cultural value. Medieval art had its own distinct style and symbolism.
To answer this question correctly, you selected options A and B, which accurately describe artistic innovations during the Renaissance.
