Sculpture in the Renaissance
Sculpture in the Renaissance refers to the three-dimensional art form created during the period of European history known as the Renaissance, which spanned from the 14th to the 17th centuries. Characterized by a revival of classical themes and techniques, Renaissance sculpture often depicted figures from mythology, Christianity, and everyday life with a focus on naturalism, proportion, and emotion. Artists of this time, such as Michelangelo, Donatello, and Bernini, produced iconic works in marble, bronze, and other materials that continue to be celebrated for their beauty, craftsmanship, and innovation.
