Renaissance art refers to the painting, sculpture and decorative arts that were produced during the Renaissance period. Its root can be traced back in Italy.
During that time, there was a great interest in rendering the natural world into arts such as painting, sculptures and decorative pieces. At the height of the period, there were three names that made it big in Renaissance art—Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo Buonarroti and Raphael Sanzio.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa became the most famous painting up until today. Michaelangelo is known for his ceiling frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, and Raphael’s Madonnas are still popular.
