Logan Shermeyer-Renaissance Art continued.. Perfect Form

Renaissance art is known for the many representations of the perfect human body. And the Renaissance period of art is best known for its religious influence and connection to God. But what bothers me about the Renaissance artists is that God created everyone in his own image, and everyone does not have perfect form like the artists portrayed them. I think that if the Renaissance artists truly wanted to connect with God and wanted to portray God's creations, they would not have created sculptures and paintings of humans in "ideal form."
