When observing the skyline of both the text authored by Giorgio Vasari and the assortment of Renaissance works, it becomes apparent that the people of the time period really wanted to instate a change in the way that people looked at the world. Vasari recognizes this as well and somewhat judges the quality of a renaissance artist based on the work they did to change the way people thought about their art-form. Looking at the pieces of art, we see that the early artists of the Renaissance were working to show even deities in a more realistic light. As the works of the Renaissance progress, Jesus and other holy figures lose the golden coronas that surrounded their heads in previous works along with their perfect skin complexion. Instead, the art shows the artists caring more about humanizing holy figures and eventually, not even bothering to show holy figures. Instead, works were done such as Da Vinci’s journal and slides 17 and 18. These works were done strictly with the intent of creating art and showing the true aspect of the world around the artist. Not to be confused with the much later movement of realism, but the Renaissance shows that the artists wanted to change the way people viewed God and the world. Rather than living for stories in holy scripture, the artists painted and sculpted as they saw the world since this was their perspective of what was important. As Vasari notes, the first artists of the Renaissance attempted to do such, and their efforts were noble, but it was not till later that the form was broken and the artists truly brought about the change in the way people looked at the world through art. Rather than deifying stories and characters, the human form took on a much more central role in the art and the common man became much more important to the artists of the Renaissance.
