There are many similarities between classical art and Renaissance art. The paintings look very real and most 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. Not only is it an art form in paintings, sculptures, and sketches, but many other architectural forms still exist.

Art colleges hold 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 hold it for a long time due to its beauty, natural colors and elements, and the story it tells.

Leonardo Di Vinci, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Donatello, and Michelangelo were some of the most famous artists of this era. Several of his creations can still be seen throughout Europe. Baptist and Catholic churches and cathedrals display many works from beautiful 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. While these artists did not work to revive antiquity in their paintings, mostly staying in the medieval style, they were also beautiful and comparable to famous artists.
