We have designed this web site for you to become an eyewitness
to "Art During The Renaissance". From the early 14th century to the middle of the 16th century, a spirit of intellectual adventure
and artistic experimentation transformed Western art. Building on medieval developments, artists and scholars searching for
truth and beauty explored the culture of clasical antiquity and developed new artistic techiques, but little did they know
that it would contribute to the rebirth of a new culture. Michelangelo, Giotto, Leonardo, Titian, Raphael, Donatello - why
did the Renaissance produce so many great artists? And what makes the Renaissance so central to art history and appreciation?
This web site will help you find out.
