RENAISSANCE PAINTING
Renaissance painters used colour, composition and background scenes, such as buildings and landscapes, to create an impression of space and depth.
Inspired by classical Antiquity, their figures had harmonious proportions and aimed for beauty by idealising faces, bodies and movements.
Although artists still painted religious subjects, they also did mythological scenes, nudes and portraits.
