Leonardo di ser piero da vinci

Da Vinci was lucky enough to start as an art apprentice right off the bat. By the age of 20, he was already being asked to join the Painter’s Guild of Florence.Da Vinci wasn’t just an artist though, sketches have been found of inventions he thought of (but mostly never created), his thoughts of philosophy… he was a jack of all trades.

Michelangelo di lodovicobuonarroti simoni

Michelangelo is another of the heavy hitter artists during the Italian Renaissance. And he accomplished a great deal due to his long life!

Michelangelo was originally trained first as a sculptor, but he proved his worth as an artist in no time!

David,1504

Battle of Cascina1504

And the whole Sistine Chapel ceiling!

1512

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbinoaka

raphael

Raphael was born in 1483 in Urbino. It didn’t take long for him to pick up a brush though,

and by late 1500, he was already considered a master painter

himself.

Highlights of Raphael’s career include:The School of Athens, 1511 (fresco)

The Sistin Madonna 1514

The Fire in the Bongo1514 (fresco)

St. Michael Trampling The Dragon, 1518

Tiziano vecellioaka

titian

Titian is another of our great artists who lived a very long life. He had his hand in painting and sculpting, but he seemed more a family man than the other artists, so once he set down roots in Venice, he pretty well stayed in Venice.

Salome with the Head of John the Baptist, c. 1515 Bacchus and Ariadne, c. 1523

Equestrian Portrait of Charles V, 1548

The Rape of Europa, c. 1562
