Humanities CLEP Prep Practice Exam

Which of the following Renaissance artists was a painter?

1. Johannes Kepler

2. William Shakespeare

3. Johann Sebastian Bach

4. Raphael

The correct answer is: Raphael

The other options do not accurately describe a Renaissance painter. Johannes Kepler was a mathematician and astronomer during the Renaissance. William Shakespeare was a playwright and poet during the Renaissance. Johann Sebastian Bach was a composer during the Baroque era. Therefore, none of these artists can be considered a Renaissance painter. Raphael, on the other hand, was a prominent painter during the Italian Renaissance, known for popular works such as The School of Athens and Madonna of the Chair.
