Early Modern Art
Early Modern Art refers to the artistic movements and styles that emerged in Europe during the late 15th century and continued through the 18th century. This period was characterized by a shift away from the religious themes of the Middle Ages and a renewed focus on humanism, individualism, and the natural world. Artists explored new techniques and mediums, such as oil painting and perspective, leading to innovations in realism and expression. The art of this time often depicted scenes from mythology, history, and everyday life, reflecting the changing social and political landscape of the era. Key figures of Early Modern Art include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Caravaggio.
