Italian Art


Its Alfonzo and I'm gonna talk about art today. Art isn't my forte, but growing up my mom loved art and she taught me all about it. Her favorite era of art was the renaissance. It started in the 14th century. It was the rediscovery of the Ancient Greek and Roman art and classics brought better perspective and use of lighting in art. Wealthy families such as Medics and the papasy served as patrons for many Italian artists. Many well known Italian artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Sarah Botticelli, and Raphael.
