One of the distinguishing features of Renaissance art was its development of highly realistic linear perspective. Giotto di Bondone (12671337) is credited with first treating a painting as a window into space, but it was not until the writings of architects Filippo Brunelleschi (13771446) and Leon Battista Alberti (14041472) that perspective was formalized as an artistic technique.[30] The development of perspective was part of a wider trend towards realism in the arts.[31] To that end, painters also developed other techniques, studying light, shadow, and, famously in the case of Leonardo da Vinci, human anatomy. Underlying these changes in artistic method was a renewed desire to depict the beauty of nature, and to unravel the axioms of aesthetics, with the works of Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael representing artistic pinnacles that were to be much imitated by other artists.[32] Other notable artists include Sandro Botticelli, working for the Medici in Florence, Donatello another Florentine and Titian in Venice, among others.
Concurrently, in the Netherlands, a particularly vibrant artistic culture developed, the work of Hugo van der Goes and Jan van Eyck having particular influence on the development of painting in Italy, both technically with the introduction of oil paint and canvas, and stylistically in terms of naturalism in representation. (for more, see Renaissance in the Netherlands). Later, the work of Pieter Brueghel the Elder would inspire artists to depict themes of everyday life.[33]
In architecture, Filippo Brunelleschi was foremost in studying the remains of ancient Classical buildings, and with rediscovered knowledge from the 1st-century writer Vitruvius and the flourishing discipline of mathematics, formulated the Renaissance style which emulated and improved on classical forms. Brunelleschi's major feat of engineering was the building of the dome of Florence Cathedral.[34] The first building to demonstrate this is claimed to be the church of St. Andrew built by Alberti in Mantua. The outstanding architectural work of the High Renaissance was the rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica, combining the skills of Bramante, Michelangelo, Raphael, Sangallo and Maderno.
The Roman orders types of columns are used: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. These can either be structural, supporting an arcade or architrave, or purely decorative, set against a wall in the form of pilasters. During the Renaissance, architects aimed to use columns, pilasters, and entablatures as an integrated system. One of the first buildings to use pilasters as an integrated system was in the Old Sacristy (14211440) by Filippo Brunelleschi.[35]
Arches, semi-circular or (in the Mannerist style) segmental, are often used in arcades, supported on piers or columns with capitals. There may be a section of entablature between the capital and the springing of the arch. Alberti was one of the first to use the arch on a monumental. Renaissance vaults do not have ribs. They are semi-circular or segmental and on a square plan, unlike the Gothic vault which is frequently rectangular.

  • I think if you take out Traditional Renaissance art out of the title you may get a warmer response.

    Technically 'Traditional Renaissance art' was done in fresco (using a water based pigment applying it directly onto wet plaster thus fusing together as they both dry) This is a good attempt I like the use of proportions however Giotto was especially well known for his use of expression through facial features, positioning and composition. I do like the style you use but its just not 'there' yet

  • @lastswordsmith Sir I don't care what type of response I get. It's not about that. I enjoyed myself while creating this piece.

  • Thank you. I had a great time working on this drawing.
