Medieval art is predominantly symbolic, religious art. In painting, it is more schematic and not yet realistic (no perspective, no shadings, no facial gestures). Most artists of the Middle Ages are anonymous, because the concept of a personal, artistic genius did not exist yet. The Middle Ages in Europe last from c. 800 until c. 1400 (the transition to Renaissance is not sudden, but gradual, taking place a bit earlier in Italy and Flanders than in North-eastern Europe, for instance. Renaissance art uses imagery from Classical Greece and Rome, it develops a sense of naturalism and perspective. The most important Renaissance artist was Leonardo da Vinci. Now check wikipedia or other sources. Good Luck!

I found this link: http://www.artic.edu/aic/education/trc/medieval_selfguide.pdf Good luck. Why don't use two well-known pieces of art, one from each time period then compare and contrast them. :D
