Leaders of the Italian Renaissance

 

            Leonardo Da Vinci .
             Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy and died on May 2, 1519 in Amboise, France. Leonardo lived in between France and Milan in Italy during his lifetime. He was an Italian polymath, painter, sculptor, architect, and more. Most of his accomplishments were in the categories of art, invention, military, engineering, and science. He transformed the direction of art. His famous accomplishments were painting the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Self Portrait. He was the first artist to make landscape as the main subject of the painting. The Mona Lisa is basically a portrait of her being a watcher without knowing in every direction. The Mona Lisa reflects humanist ideas because she was a focus on the individual, not a famous queen or religious figure. His patrons included the Medici, Ludovico Sforza and Cesare Borgia, and King Francis I of France. I believe his talent renown his work because he brought new innovations contributing to the world that made him prominent, not just art. .

             Michelangelo.
             Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born on March 6, 1475, Caprese Michelangelo, Italy and died on February 18, 1564, Rome, Italy. He was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance that influenced the development of Western art. His contemporaries recognized his extraordinary talent and received commands from the wealthiest men. His resulting work, most particularly his Pietà and David sculptures and Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings, has been carefully preserved, letting future generations view his art. The last Judgment work was trying to convey the power of Christ judgment and the blessed ones people prosper to the top, Heaven. The Last Judgement is a good example of the fault in man because half of the work consists of men being dragged into hell.
