Early Renaissance Art
Early Renaissance Art refers to the artistic movement that emerged in Italy in the 14th century and lasted until the late 15th century. It is characterized by a revival of interest in classical antiquity, a focus on humanism, and an emphasis on naturalism and perspective in painting and sculpture. Artists of this period sought to capture the beauty of the natural world and the human form with greater accuracy and realism than had been seen in the art of the Middle Ages. Key figures of Early Renaissance Art include Giotto, Masaccio, Donatello, and Botticelli.
