The renaissance art movement is an era of knowledge and artistic rediscovery using the 
unearthed knowledge of the Roman’s and Greek’s to bring about the end of the medieval art style. The artists who embody the age are renowned and world wide recognisable such as the four masters Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello.
In an age of rebirth literature and art exploded on the Italian peninsula leading to art that was creating realistic figures and magnificent religious artwork. Using the knowledge of anatomy the both sculpt and paint work we still admire today. It feels like the first through those gates of understanding still amaze us at how people could produce such phenomenal works. Such work that inspires me to this day like the Primavera Sandro Botticelli.
Work like this and the birth if Venus provide subtle hints into the world of fantasy and reality. Painting of mythical characters at event together provides me with a sense of being both ethereal incorporeal and alive. It becomes hard to escape the renaissance period for any endeavouring to be an artists. Clarity of form and knowledge of anatomy allowed the artists of this period to shock and awe those who viewed it. It was like a religious vision.
The first sight of the art in the renaissance period had at grips with mythology and wonder. Scenes that felt beyond worldly and it made me feel like emotion. I have always felt incredible drawn the the artists of this era thinking about what an exciting time it would have been to rediscover the knowledge of the ancients and push it beyond your own perimeters. All modern day art streams from the renaissance and owes a debt.
