High Renaissance is a short artistic period (20 years) but extremely influential. • Under the rule of several powerful popes, between 1495-1527 AD Rome became the new art capital of Europe. • These Popes lived in great luxury and invited artists from all over Italy to come to Rome to complete large and challenging commissions. Over this period of about twenty years, many great and influential art pieces were created. (ie. The Sistine Chapel) High Renaissance
During the High Renaissance, artists gained new respect. They were no longer viewed merely as skilled craftsmen, but rather became viewed as geniuses that created pieces through divine inspiration. • Their art works were more expressive than Early Renaissance, they often disregarded the rules of perspective and ratios and let their emotions take over. Many artists are said to have been inspired by divine intervention. Leonardo da Vinci Michelangelo Buonarroti Donato Bramante Raphael Sanzio
