Renaissance art took as its foundation the art of Classical antiquity, perceived as the noblest of ancient traditions, but transformed that tradition by absorbing recent developments in the art of Northern Europe and by applying contemporary scientific knowledge, perspective above all. Along with Renaissance humanist philosophy it spread throughout Europe, affecting both artists and their patrons with new techniques and new artistic sensibilities. For art historians, Renaissance art marks the transition of Europe from the medieval period to the Early Modern age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection is the High Renaissance, the Italian 15th and 16th century core of it: Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian and the Venetians. The subjects are the ones the period painted most. The Madonna and child, with or without the infant Saint John. Christ, at every stage from the nativity to the lamentation. The saints, the annunciation, the transfiguration. Classical myth, once patrons were willing to pay for a Venus as readily as for a Virgin. And the portrait, which is where the new attention to a real face and a real distance shows most clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things created the look of it. Perspective, applied as contemporary scientific knowledge rather than as a rule of thumb, and the oil medium, which let a picture be built in layers and corrected. Both arrived from the north, which is why the Italian and the Flemish halves of the same century belong in one story: Jan van Eyck was working in Bruges while Florence was still painting in tempera. Renaissance art is what happens when those two techniques meet the art of Classical antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFamous Renaissance art painters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive Renaissance painters, each with a collection of their own.
