There are many similarities between classical art and Renaissance art. The paintings look very real and most of them are based on Biblical stories and events with angels interacting with humans.
Renaissance art originally began in Italy around 1400, but can be found in all parts of Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Renaissance Art focuses on ancient traditions and religious themes. It is not only an art form in paintings, sculptures and sketches, but many other architectural forms still exist.
Art colleges give extensive classes on classical and renaissance art because it is an art that has never died. It has been around for centuries and is still used in many applications today. A good Renaissance painting will capture your attention and keep it for a long time because of its beauty, colors and natural elements, and the story it tells.
Leonardo Di Vinci, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Donatello, and Michelangelo were some of the most famous artists of this time. Several of his creations can still be seen throughout Europe. Baptist and Catholic churches and cathedrals display many works starting from fine works such as the altarpiece of the Mystic Lamb, the painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and the Assumption of the Virgin. Many of the pulpits in these churches are painted or carved in the Renaissance style.
Leonardo Di Vinci became famous for his Renaissance pieces of the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. Artists from the Netherlands include Jan Van Eyck, Hubert Van Eyck, Robert Campin, Hans Memling, and Hugo van der Goes. Although these artists did not work to revive antiquity in their paintings, remaining mainly in the medieval style, they were also beautiful and comparable to famous artists.
