Masaccio,
1401 - 1428
one of the first Renaissance style painters.
He was known for his skill at imitating nature,
recreating lifelike figures and movement as well
as a convincing sense of three-dimensionality and thus
being one of the first painters to use typical Renaissance style.Leonardo da Vinci
1452 - 1519
He was an Italian Renaissance polymath whose areas
of interest included invention, painting,
sculpting, architecture, science, music,
mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany,
writing, history, and cartography. He has been variously
called the father of palaeontology,
ichnology, and architecture, and is widely considered one
of the greatest painters of all timeMichelangelo
1475 - 1564
He was Italian sculptor, painter,
architect and poet of the High Renaissance.
A number of Michelangelo's works of painting,
sculpture and architecture rank among the most famous in existenceRaphael
1483 - 1520
was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance.
His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition,
and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.
Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci,
he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.Tizian
1477 - 1576
Titian was one of the most versatile of Italian painters,
equally adept with portraits, landscape backgrounds,
and mythological and religious subjects. His painting methods,
particularly in the application and use of colour,
would exercise a profound influence not only
on painters of the Italian Renaissance but on future generations of Western art.
He made way to soon coming Baroque.
His career was successful from the start, and he became
sought after by patrons.Mona Lisa,
1503 - 1507
made by Leonardo da Vinci using oil on a white Lombardy poplar pane.
The potrait has been described as "the best
known, the most visited, the most written about,
the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world".
The Mona Lisa is also one of the most valuable paintings in the world.Sistine Chapel ceiling,
1508 - 1512
painted by Michelangelo by using fresco technique,
in which the paint is applied to damp plaster.
Michelangelo had been an apprentice in the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio,
one of the most competent and prolific of Florentine fresco painters,
at the time that the latter was employed on a fresco cycle at Santa Maria Novella
and whose work was represented on the walls of the Sistine Chapel.
Central to the ceiling decoration are nine scenes from the Book of GenesisThe School of Athens
1509 - 1511
painted by Raphael using fresco technique.
it is one of the most famous Renaissance frescoes.
The School of Athens is one of a group of four main frescoes
on the walls of the Stanza
that depict distinct branches of knowledge.
Each theme is identified above by a separate
tondo containing a majestic female figure seated in the cloudsThe Assumption of the Virgin
1515 - 1518
made by Tizian. It is a large altarpiece panel painting in oils.
It remains in the position it was designed for,
on the high altar of the Frari church in Venice.
It is the largest altarpiece in the city, with the figures well over life-size,
necessitated by the large church.
It marked a new direction in Titian's style, that reflected his awareness of the
developments in High Renaissance painting further south,
by artists including Raphael and MichelangeloThe San Giovenale Triptych
1422,
made by Masaccio by using paints on panel.
The central panel shows the Madonna enthroned with two angels and
the child Jesus eating vine, as a symbol of the Eucharist.
The left panel depicts Saint Bartholomew and Saint Blaise, and the
right panel depicts Saint Anthony and Saint Juvenal (Giovenale). The
complex perspective of the centre panel would have been something new for its time.
The use of three-dimensional solidity makes the painting revolutionary for its time.Periodi
