We are seeing so many more portraits being panted during the Renaissance because this era saw a switch from scholasticism to humanism. People during this time are more interested in creation and innovation and there is a new emphasis on humans and their roles in these practices. This is also the first time that some artists are able to experience pagan art. Artists no longer a restricted by certain religious boundaries and can paint a variety of new subjects, including themselves.
