Renaissance Artists

The artists that I researched represented Renaissance ideas and commonalities in different ways. For example, the painting of "The Cure of the Folly" was a satire of the Flemish custom of wearing amulets made out of books and scriptures. The inscription reads, "Master, cut away the stone - my name is Lubbert Das." Lubbert Das was a comical figure of Dutch literature. During the time of the Renaissance, many political and social events were portrayed through art. This painting reflected the satire of the time and was also a piece of art that served the purpose that a political cartoon would serve now.
