Suddenly, in the early 15th century, a new vision occupied man's mind. In the
words of Mary McCarthy, “the vanishing point existed for all men.”​

none of you are right. mimesis came about in the early reniassance to represent life as close to reality as it could be in paintings, often with perfected versions of men. it falls in line with linear perspective, and its important because it shaped the renaissance until the reformation, which was the fall of mimesis because the popes sanctioned art that wasnt mimetic, in favor of art that was intellecting and emotionally thought provoking, which was a response to the reformation

considering plato was anti-mimesis I think that was way too broad a question. And Mimesis was around thousands of years before the renaissance.
