Renaissance Wall Art

There are 769 artworks in the Renaissance movement on Archive Lane, every one free to preview and available as a print.

The Renaissance began in fourteenth-century Italy and spread north over the following two hundred years, rebuilding art on the study of classical antiquity, mathematics and the human body. Linear perspective gave painting measurable space, anatomical study gave it convincing bodies, and oil paint gave it depth of colour. In Italy the period runs from Giotto through Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo; in the north it produced Albrecht Durer and Jan van Eyck. Durer's engravings and woodcuts, made for reproduction from the start, are especially well represented here.
