Renaissance Art refers to a cultural movement and artistic style that originated in Italy during the Late Middle Ages, spanning from the 14th to the 17th century. It is characterized by a renewed interest in classical learning, literature, and values, as well as an emphasis on humanism, individualism, and realism. Renaissance artists sought to create a sense of depth, volume, and naturalism in their work, often using linear perspective, chiaroscuro (the contrast between light and dark), and anatomical accuracy. Some notable examples of Renaissance art include Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," Michelangelo's "David," and Raphael's "School of Athens." While Fauvist Art and Abstract Art are distinct artistic movements that emerged in the early 20th century, they can be seen as a continuation of the spirit of innovation and experimentation that characterized Renaissance art.
