Welcome to our site devoted to the art of the Renaissance, one of the most important and influential periods in the history of European art and culture.
The Renaissance, extending from the 14th to the 16th century, was marked by a renewed interest in classical culture, humanism and scientific inquiry, and was a period of great artistic development, in which the visual arts, literature, music and philosophy reached new levels of refinement and complexity.
In this site we will explore the art of the Italian and European Renaissance, analyzing the works of the greatest artists of the period and their influence on culture and history.
