This work of art expresses the same belief.

Write an one to two page paper proving your thesis, through the utilization of formal analysis.

The work that you feel expresses the same belief as Pico's thesis, must be a piece that will not be discussed in class, and is an Italian early renaissance piece (1425-1485).

Avoid Leonardo Da Vinci , as he does not work within this period as an Italian Early Renaissance Artist.

Man is great, because man has free will.
