Italian Renaissance
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance era, renowned for his contributions to art, science, and engineering. His masterpieces, such as the 'Mona Lisa' and 'The Last Supper,' alongside his extensive scientific studies and inventive designs, epitomize the Renaissance humanist ideal.
Renaissance Art
Renaissance art, emerging in Europe during the 14th to 17th centuries, marked a profound shift from medieval artistic conventions, emphasizing realism, humanism, and a revival of classical antiquity. This period introduced innovative techniques such as linear perspective, chiaroscuro, and sfumato, leading to more lifelike and three-dimensional representations in painting and sculpture.
