Renaissance art tried to show people and objects as they would appear in life?
No, that was impressionist art in the late 1800's early 1900's. Renaissance art was more symbolic and had religious themes and classical landscapes. They often tried to copy or reproduce classic Greek and Roman art, but with more perspective and movement within the art. The items placed within a Renaissance painting gave information about the subject and the viewer knew what they meant by the relationship with the main subject. There was also the use of glazes and the fleshy tones used by the painter.
