Renaissance art
Botticelli's artistic era
Renaissance art refers to the painting, sculpture, and architecture produced in Europe from roughly the 14th through 16th centuries, characterized by renewed interest in classical antiquity, naturalistic representation, and techniques like linear perspective.
The term distinguishes this period's output from medieval art: a museum wing devoted to Renaissance art.
Works by Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael exemplify the style.
