Topic: Renaissance Art

Renaissance art is characterized by a renewed focus on realism and naturalism, with

a greater emphasis on depicting the human form and expressions.
Artists of the Renaissance also experimented with new techniques such as
perspective and shading, which allowed for a greater sense of depth and
dimensionality in their works.
Major Renaissance artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, who
produced some of the most iconic works of the period, such as the Mona Lisa and the
Sistine Chapel ceiling.
