The purpose of this study is to examine the tract of realism in the Renaissance Art and John Donne's poems. Realism is one of the Renaissance Culture. In the Renaissance Humanism, the contrast and the conflict of idealism and realism caused the harmony of thought and experience. Donne used realistic secular images, sometimes sexual images even in divine poems, but they do not secularize Christian faith. Among the Renaissance or the Baroque Artists, Caravaggio tended to prefer realistic detail and dramatic effects of light to the more abstract conventions of the sixteenth century Italian art. Both of them had constant sensitivity to reality and passionate interest in human nature, which made their works more realistic than any other artists' works. The good examples of the harmony of idealism and realistic vitality can be seen in their works commonly.
