Contrapposto is a pose where a person is resting all of their weigh on one foot and their body rests on that side. It was significant to the renaissance because it shows that those artists were no longer interested in purely spiritual images, they wanted to depict what they actually saw. This interest in the natural form is called Humanism, and drove much of the renaissance.
