    31. Chapter Twelve: Discussion Questions Consider the role of art in Florentine politics. In what ways does artistic patronage serve as a vehicle for state propaganda? Explain, including principal discussions of the socio-religious works of Gozzoli and Michelangelo. Contrast the medieval worldview with that of the Renaissance. What was the role of the individual during the Middle Ages? During the Renaissance? What was the role of the artist in each period? To what may we attribute the shift in perspective? Explain. Citing specific artwork from Chapter Twelve, explore the artistic balance between Classical and Christian prerogatives. Which of the artists in the chapter had the most success balancing and/or synthesizing the two ideologies? Compare the two styles of Humanism exemplified by Erasmus and Machiavelli. What variation on the theme does each provide? Consider the roles of Classicism and Christianity in their respective approaches.
