Ep.15: The Cult of the Saints

Equally as important as humanism, naturalism, innovation, and invention, the Cult of the Saints is a long standing tradition that continues to thrive during the Renaissance period. Only through understanding this current and ongoing cultural trend can art and society in Italy  be properly comprehended.

This discussion details the position of saints, how they are worshiped, and how their pictorial depictions inherited from the Middle Ages are influenced by the changing attitudes of the Renaissance through the likes of Filippino Lippi and Leonardo da Vinci.
