It is no doubt that in both the 15th and the 18th European world had developed dramatically ranged from art and sculpture to policy and philosophy. The 15th was a humanism time and the 18th was regard as The Age of Reason. Although they were similar in the sense that free people’s thought and attitudes, there were significant changes in the way Europeans viewed the world.
Free from the Middle Ages which was an absolutely religious time, Europeans began to observe the world in a more realism and humanism eye. They focus on men. No matter what problems they solved, the basic purpose was to convinced and satisfied humans. From most of the 15th art products we can found that the very goal that artists willing to reach were to make the figures they created vivid, as if they can touch or breathe.

Apart from close observation, they had a deeper reflection and a more objective solution. They paid more attention on man’s ideology and the whole social phenomenon rather than on art or sculpture or things on the surface.
