Examine the two paintings and text excerpt below.
"The [clearest] evidence of the break with medieval culture comes from visual arts. [It] was the essence of the Renaissance... One begins to know the names of the artists... feel stronger emotions in the subjects... see well-defined landscapes, natural folds of drapery, and three-dimensional figures; and one begins to notice the emphasis on symbolic representation giving way to depictions of recognizable scene... the new artistic styles would echo the broader movements and interests of the new age... Neither the techniques nor the forms of artistic expression were to be the same again." Theodore Rabb, The Last Days of the Renaissance and the March to Modernity, Basic Books, 2006.
