Art HistoryRenaissance Art
Renaissance Art refers to the artistic works produced in Europe during the Renaissance period, which spanned from the 14th to the 17th century. Characterized by a revival of interest in classical antiquity, artists of this time sought to depict the beauty of the natural world with a focus on realism and perspective. Renaissance art is known for its use of chiaroscuro, sfumato, and linear perspective techniques, as well as its depictions of religious and mythological themes. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael are considered masters of Renaissance art, producing iconic works such as the Mona Lisa, David, and The School of Athens.
