Introduction

I chose the High Renaissance Art as these artworks are associated with distinctive details, have bright colors and emotions.

I want to know the inspiration of these artworks.

I want to describe the different kinds of visual elements in these artworks.

This showcases my interest in learning why this period was referred to as the rebirth of art.

High Renaissance Art: Introduction

The renaissance art spans from the period of 1400s to 1600s (Frank, 2014).

It mainly entails 3 categories:

Early renaissance

High renaissance

Late renaissance

The high renaissance unfolded against a back-drop of mounting religious and political tension (Frank, 2014).

It was marked by the Humanism movement (Frank, 2014).

The term basically means a ‘high style’ of painting and sculpture.
