Art of the Renaissance

The Renaissance Period is one of the most well known periods in our culture. Many people believe that art made during the 15th and 16th century is better than art done during other time periods. I think this is due to the fact that that art was unique and very different from other art works. It was a time when some of the  most famous art pieces were created. One such famous piece is the painting of Mona Lisa, which was made by Leonardo da Vinci. Another work of art that was made during the Renaissance period is the statue of David, which was done by a well known artist and sculptor Michelangelo. These are some of the most famous artists of that time period and their paintings are some of those known all over the world, even to the people who have little or no knowledge about art. I think that the reason that everyone always refers to these artists is because of their unique art that was made and glorified across the whole world. I personally remember when my elementary and middle school teachers taught us about art, da Vinci and Michelangelo were the first artist that were mentioned. I really enjoyed learning about the art of the Renaissance period and I am looking forward to finding out more about the artworks made during those centuries.
