• B. The Egyptians
• C. The Maya
• D. The Mesopotamians

Answer: (A)

Renaissance artists aimed to revive learning from ancient Greece and Rome. They actively sought out classical texts, sculptures, and architectural ideas to model beauty, proportion, and human-focused subjects. This revival, driven by humanism, emphasized balance, harmony, and realism drawn from Greco-Roman traditions, and it shaped approaches to painting, sculpture, and design. While other ancient cultures had rich histories, the Greeks and Romans provided the core source of inspiration for Renaissance art and learning.
