Solution
Humanism: During the medieval period religion played an important role in the life of man. Everything was subjected to religion. Renaissance scholars discarded the ideas and beliefs of the medieval age. They paid greater attention to humanistic values. They believed in mankind’s ability to achieve happiness and perfection without the need for religion. The study of the old classical literature
brought a radical change in the whole outlook of a man. Renaissance artists portrayed human forms in all beauty and harmony.
