Myth in Renaissance Art

Abstract: The Renaissance was a time of revival of art and letters under the influence of ancient Roman and Greek models. The suppression of the spirit and of the arts in the feudalism that preceded the Renaissance forced a change whereby individual freedom and autonomy became of value and life was seen as a matter of acceptance of physical existence and of the desire to pursue a happy, practical life. This 6 page paper compares and contrasts the mythological paintings ofRenaissance artists Botticelli, Mantegna, Bruegel and Titian. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
