Search this site

This site explores all the major masterpieces of Italian Renaissance Art. Artists such as Giotto, Botticelli, Donatello, Masaccio, Fra Angelico, Piero Della Francesca and Mantegna all feature.

Of course the work of The High Renaissance masters Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael are all strongly represented.

The Renaissance, the rebirth of Art Science. This represents the pinnacle of artistic achievement, revived and confidently executed after a thousand years in the wilderness.

This site aims to encourage viewers to go and look at art in the flesh. Some works have a scale and power that can only be fully realised by seeing them live. Books (and websites) are fine, but it is live art that really fires the imagination.


Michelangelo. 'The Creation of Adam'. Sistine Chapel, Rome. (w)

We admire and marvel at reproductions of great works of art be it a painting, or sculpture or a building. However, to stand before these works and witness their awe inspiring power is truly an unforgettable experience. I will give my personal opinions of the works I have seen from Florence, Rome, Venice and the Vatican city and attempt to describe some of the emotion I felt when viewing these masterpieces.


Together we will explore The Sistine Chapel with works by Michelangelo, Botticelli and Ghirlandaio.

The Vitruvian Man and Mona Lisa are just some of the examples of Leonardo's art and this truly great Renaissance artist offers a genius that embraces anatomy, biology and science, all in addition to his wonderful paintings.

If you are looking for references, timelines, dates, or just enjoy great art, You will find that biographies of the artists and historical details of the period, are all here at Italian Renaissance Art.
