era of great artistic and intellectual achievement with the birth
of secular art. The focus was on realistic and humanistic art.

sculptures were naturalistic portraits of human beings.
Renaissance Period (1400-1600)
• Architecture during this period was characterized by its
symmetry and balance.
• As the classical Greeks believed in the harmonious
development of the person through a sound mind, by
the practice of athletics, the Renaissance held up the
ideal of the well-rounded man, knowledgeable in a
number of fields such as philosophy, science, arts,
including painting and music – and who applies his
knowledge to productive and creative activity.
Renaissance Period (1400-1600)
• The Renaissance was a period of artistic experimentation. It
brought man into a full view just like the human figure in
Greek Art.

Famous Renaissance
Artworks and Artists
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
(1475-1564)
• Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet.
• He was considered the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and ever
since then he was considered as one of the greatest artists of all
time.
• A number of his works in paintings, sculpture, and architecture
rank among the famous in existence.
• Among his outstanding works as sculptor were the following: Pieta,
Bacchus, Moses, David, Dying Slave, Dawn and Dusk.
• Two of his best known works, The Pieta and David, were sculpted
before he turned thirty.
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
(1475-1564)
•He also created two of the most
influential works in fresco in the history of
Western art: the scenes from Genesis on
the ceiling and the Last Judgment on the
altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.
“Pieta” by Michelangelo
In Pieta, Michelangelo approached the
subject which until then had been given
form mostly from north of the Alps,
where the portrayal of pain had always
been connected with the idea of
redemption as represented by the seated
Madonna holding Christ’s body in her
arms.
Michelangelo convinces himself and his
spectators of the divine quality and the
significance of these figures by means of
earthly and perfect beauty, but of
course, these are human standards.
Leonardo di ser Piero Da Vinci
(1452- 1519)
• Leonardo Da Vinci was a painter, architect, scientist, and
mathematician.
• He was popularized in present times through the novel and
movie, “Da Vinci Code.”
• He is known as the ultimate “Renaissance man” because of his
intellect, interest, talent and his expression of humanist and
classical values.
• He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all
time and perhaps the most diversely talented person to have
ever lived.
Leonardo di ser Piero Da Vinci
(1452- 1519)
• His well known works were:
The Last Supper (the most reproduced religious painting of all
time),
Mona Lisa (the most famous and most parodied portrait.)
• His other works were:
The Virtruvian Mar,
The Adoration of the Magi,
Virgin of the Rocks. (Wikipedia)
“Monalisa” by Leonardo da Vinci
• “Mona Lisa” stems from a description by
Renaissance art historian Giorgio Vasari,
who wrote, “Leonardo undertook to
paint for Francesco del Giocondo the
portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife.” Mona,
in Italian, is a polite form of address
originating as Madonna- similar to
Ma’am, madamme, or My Lady in
English. This became Madonna and its
contraction Mona. The title of the
painting, though traditionally spelled
“Mona”, is also commonly spelled in
Modern Italian as “Monna Lisa”.
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (Raphael)
(1483-1520)
• Raphael was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance
period.
• His work was admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition
and for its visual achievement of the interpreting the Divine and
incorporating Christian doctrines.
• Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he formed the
traditional trinity of great masters of that period.
• His main contributions to art were his unique draftsmanship and
compositional skills.
• His famous works were: The Sistine Madonna, The School of Athens,
and The Transfiguration.
“The Transfiguration” by Raphael
• The Transfiguration was Raphael’s last
painting on which he worked on up to his
death.
• Commissioned by Cardinal Giulio de Medici,
the late Pope Clement VII, the painting was
conceived as an altarpiece for the Narbonne
Cathedral in France.
• The painting exemplifies Raphael’s
development as an artist and the
culmination of his career.
• The subject is combined with an additional
episode from the Gospel in the lower part
of the painting.
Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi (Donatello)
(1386- 1466)
• Donatello was one of the Italian great artists
of the period.

from Florence.
