Detailed Description

Renaissance art is characterized by a return to naturalism and realism, as well as a renewed interest in the classical art of Greece and Rome. Renaissance artists sought to portray the world as it truly was, rather than idealized or stylized versions of reality. This resulted in a more naturalistic style of art, with greater attention paid to detail and perspective. Some of the most famous Renaissance artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is one of the most iconic paintings of the Renaissance period. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling is another well-known work of Renaissance art. Renaissance art was a major departure from the art of the Middle Ages. Middle Ages art was often characterized by flat, two-dimensional images and a lack of realism. Renaissance artists sought to change this by creating more lifelike and realistic artworks. This new style of art was hugely influential and had a lasting impact on the development of Western art.
