The climax of
Renaissance
art, from ca.
1500-1525. This was the period when painting especially reached its
peak of technical mastery. Italian art attained the High Renaissance
ideal of harmony and balance within the framework of classical
realism, most notably in the work of artists Leonardo da Vinci
(1452-1519), Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), and Raphael (Raffaello
Sanzio) (1483-1520), along with the great Venetian masters, Titian
(c. 1485/90-1576) and Tintoretto (1518-1594).
