artistic achievement, revived and confidently executed after a thousand
years in the wilderness.

that really fires the imagination.

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

of the period, are all here at Italian Renaissance Art.
