Welcome to the Italian Renaissance
The Italian Renaissance was a time that seemed to be made for the artist. Sudden wealth and more stable ruling families brought on a desire for beautiful art. In the Renaissance, people discovered ways to paint a picture that looked more real. These new ideas spread rapidly throughout Italy and to countries north of Italy. The Renaissance is a period of time in European history when the Italians developed Realism by working out formulas. The formulas of perspective, foreshortening, and human figure proportions were worked out with mathematics. In this book we’ll explore the artists that shaped the Italian Renaissance. Come join the fun! -Brenda Ellis The Renaissance began in Florence. Florence was the center of a major trade route. It received goods by sea from the Middle East and China. Fiorentinos distributed those goods by land throughout Europe. This powerful city-state connected goods, ideas, and art throughout the entire known world.
