Raphael (1483-1520)

He is considered to be one of
the greatest and most popular
artists of all time. He was born
Raffaello Santi (or Raffaello
Sanzio) in Urbino on April6,
1483, and received his early
training in art from his father, the
painter Giovanni Santi.Being
younger, Raphael was considered
during his time as the next
master painter to painter to
inherit the fame of Leonardo da
Vinci.
La Belle Jardinière by Raphael
Jardinière is one of the most
famous Madonna portraits of
Italian Renaissance painter,
Raphael. Raphael studied the
works of Leonardo da Vinci while
in Florence and applied some of
Leonardo techniques to his own
painting. Raphael' use of
contrasting lights and darks, and
the relaxed, informal pose of the
Madonna illustrate Leonardo's
influence on La Belle Jardinière.
Donatello (1386-1466)
Donato di Niccolo di Betto
Bardi, known as Donatello, was
the greatest sculptor of the
early Renaissance. He was a
master stonecutter. In
addition, he also had a great
understanding of human
behavior as shown in his work
titled, Mary Magdalen (1454-
1455).
Customarily portrayed as a
beautiful young woman with
lovely long hair, Donatello's
Magdalen, however, is different.
His Magdalen is a semi-
toothless, old woman with
tangled hair almost to her feet.
Donatello created this painted
wooden statue of Saint Mary
Magdalene in about 1455. The
expressive sculpture shows the
repentant Magdalene as a
haggard, old woman.

name Masaccio is a

(short for Tommaso),

Tom.

What is Renaissance sculpture?
Renaissance sculpture shows strong interest in
the ancient past. An example of this is the
work of Lorenzo Ghiberti. He cast two sets of
bronze doors for the Florence Baptistery. These
bronze doors both demonstrate his knowledge
of an ancient sculpture. The second set, which
is known as the Gates of Paradise (1425-
1452), shows his mastery of the laws of
scientific perpective, which had been
discovered only recently during that time.
Lorenzo Ghiberti, born Lorenzo di
Bartolo, was a Florentine Italian
artist of the Early Renaissance best
known as the creator of the bronze
doors of the Florence Baptistery,
called by Michelangelo the Gates of
Paradise. Trained as a goldsmith
and sculptor, he established an
important workshop for sculpture
