Introduction to Renaissance Art
The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political, and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages. Generally described as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature, and art.
Some of the greatest artists in history emerged during this time, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael. Their works are renowned for their detailed realism, intricate expressive forms, and powerful compositions.
