The Pope that contributed the most to the arts was Pope Julius II. Along with the rise of commissions for the church, artists started to draw upon Humanistic values.

Artists started to take pride in their artwork and began exploring new humanist themes in their art rather than focusing on the traditional biblical subject matter that was popular during the middle ages. Italian scholars and artists saw themselves as reawakening to the ideals and achievements of classical Roman culture. Renaissance art gave philosophers a different perspective on reality and this affected their writings from then on.
