Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main difference between middle ages and renaissance is that renaissance was the period of the great revival of art, literature, and learning in Europe, marking the transition from medieval to the modern world.

Detailed explanation-2: -Renaissance humanism differed from the prevailing philosophical school of the medieval period (known as “scholasticism") in terms of its emphasis on “classical” fields of study, and its view on the role of Christian doctrine in education and philosophy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Renaissance art also reflects humanism. While medieval art was meant to teach a lesson, perhaps a bible story, Renaissance art glorified the humanity of the individuals being portrayed. Medieval statues tended to be of unnatural-looking saints. In contrast, Michelangelo’s David appears lifelike.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between medieval and Renaissance architecture is that medieval architecture (particularly Romanesque architecture) is characterized by its heavy, solid, and fortified structures.
