Renaissance Art:
Revival of Classical Ideals: This period saw a renewed interest in Greco-Roman culture, emphasizing humanism, the potential of the individual, and realistic depictions of the natural world.
Techniques: Mastery of perspective, the study of anatomy, and chiaroscuro (light and shadow) became central to creating depth and realism.
Key Artists:
Leonardo da Vinci: Known for works like The Last Supper and Mona Lisa, da Vinci applied scientific observation to achieve realism.
Michelangelo: His sculptures, like David, and frescoes, notably the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, demonstrate a profound understanding of the human form.
Raphael: Celebrated for his balanced compositions and works like The School of Athens, which exemplify the ideals of harmony and intellectual depth.

The development of linear perspective allowed artists to create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality on a flat surface, enhancing realism.
