The Renaissance significantly influenced modern art by emphasizing realism and individualism. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo introduced techniques such as linear perspective and chiaroscuro, which enhanced the representation of the human figure and nature. This focus on human experience and emotion paved the way for contemporary artistic expression. Additionally, the spirit of innovation during the Renaissance fostered a questioning attitude toward traditional forms, leading to the abstraction and experimentation found in modern art [1][2][3][4][5].
