How is Renaissance art different than the art in the Middle Ages?

Renaissance art is much different from the art in the Middle Ages. Artists focused more on the human body and experiences in life. Rulers wanted this kind of art, so it was very popular back then. During the time of the Renaissance, artists learned of perspective. Studying perspective gave the art in the Renaissance depth. Art in the Middle Ages was simpler and more focused on religion and royalty. The Renaissance Art had a greater impact on the art painted today.
