ProtoRenaissance
The ProtoRenaissance refers to the artistic movement in Italy that took place between the late 13th and early 14th centuries, characterized by a revival of interest in classical art and culture. This period marked the transition from the medieval to the Renaissance style, with artists beginning to explore techniques such as perspective, naturalistic representation, and the use of light and shadow. Key figures of the ProtoRenaissance include Giotto, Cimabue, and Duccio, whose works laid the foundation for the artistic innovations of the Renaissance period to come.
