RENAISSANCE ART (1400-1600 AD)


The word “Renaissance” translates directly to mean “Rebirth” in French.
The movement began in Italy mostly in the ancient city of Florence.
Renewed study of ancient Greece and Rome. The Renaissance artists focused mainly on classicism and sought to achieve
this by bringing back the ideals of Greek art.
To greater extent though, much of their works had purely religious themes e.g. The Last super by Da Vinci, “David” by
Michelangelo and Sistine Madonna by Raphael.

Low Renaissance: Giotto De Bondone
Brunelleschi Filippo
Donatello
