Abstract
Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the impact of renaissance humanism on artistic expression in Europe. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Renaissance humanism profoundly influenced artistic expression in Europe by promoting classical ideals, realism, and individualism. Artists embraced themes of human dignity, secularism, and natural beauty, revolutionizing techniques like perspective and anatomical accuracy. Figures such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo epitomized this era of creativity and intellectual exploration, marking a shift from medieval traditions to a renewed focus on human experience and achievement. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Cultural transfer theory, reception theory & visual culture theory may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of renaissance humanism on artistic expression in Europe. Foster interdisciplinary studies that explore the intersections of humanism with literature, philosophy, and science to provide a holistic understanding of its impact on artistic theory. Support initiatives that preserve and promote renaissance artistic techniques influenced by humanism, such as perspective, anatomy, and naturalistic portrayal.
