Paintings

There are lots of different kinds of paintings from the Italian Renaissance. How are they different? They are different from each other because each painting has its own characteristics.There are paintings that focus on the devil and hell. Many people like hanging peaceful paintings around their house, while other people hang pictures like " The Last Judgement" by Michelangelo or " Christ in Limbo" by Fra Angelico. Year after year in time Renaissance paintings became more realistic but not totally. People started to really focus on paintings and what they looked like. Paintings, sculptures and architechture was greatly well-liked and anything medieval was not well-liked and hated. In the middle ages, the naked body was disrespectful and sinful. The only exception was Adam and Eve. Painters would paint famous people, not every day citizens. Artists would paint good people like Jesus bright and bad people like the devil a dark color. A painting you might think is bright it might just have a bright light source.
