The periods of the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo were periods not only for the art flourishment but also, for the scientific knowledge growth. So, in those periods, the relationship between art and science was so clear and attractive. This essay will discuss the relationship between the arts and the growing body of scientific knowledge during the three major stylistic periods in which Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods. In addition to explaining how the artist used new scientific knowledge in their work. In the Middle Ages, the church had banned the studying of the human body, and the artists did not depict it. That is could be because they consider the human body to be guilty, sinful and the cause of lure. For this reason, arts in the middle ages do not accurately reflect human bodies. (Harris & Zucker, n.d.). After that, the artists from the Renaissance period wanted to revive the interest of the Romans and the Greeks in the human body. So, they studied anatomy to understand systems of muscles beneath the skins. They used scientific tools to study human body to reflect on his art and make his art more naturalistic and more real life. Thus, they were able to depict the movement, stillness and the poses of the humans in so real way. (Harris & Zucker, n.d.). Personally, I think this interest could be a reason for their belief in the man being the essential measure of the other things, as well. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most important artists of the Renaissance.
