Pintura renacentista

Pintura renacentista, or Renaissance painting, refers to a style of art from roughly the 14th to 17th centuries that emerged in Europe, inspired by a renewed interest in classical antiquity. It emphasizes realism, perspective, and human emotion, aiming to depict subjects more lifelike and natural. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo explored techniques such as shading and anatomy to create depth and dimension. This period marked a significant shift from the more stylized medieval art, focusing on individualism and the observable world, laying the foundation for modern Western art.
