This begins with the Renaissance, which was a time of re – birth. Art changes from stout and stark religious works to bright and cheerfully works that depict humans in every day life.  This is not to say that religion is not found in the art of the time.

This is the Pietà by Michelangelo.  It depicts Mary holding the dead body of Christ.  It is an example of the new art style in Italy during the Renaissance.  We will be discussing art in great detail this week.
