Influenced by a revival of interest in GrecoRoman ideals and sponsored by a newly prosperous merchant class, fifteenthcentury artists produced works of astonishingly innovative content and technique. The International Gothic style of painting, still popular at the beginning of the century,was giving way to the influence of Early Netherlandish Flemish masters such as Jan van Eyck, who emphasized narrative and the complex use of light for symbolic meaning. Patrons favored paintings in oil and on wooden panels for works ranging from large, hinged altarpieces to small, increasinglylifelike portraits.In the Italian citystates of Florence, Venice, and Mantua, artists and architects alike perfected existing techniques and developed new ones. The painter Masaccio mastered linear perspective; the sculptor Donatello produced anatomically correct but idealized figures such as his bronze nude ofDavid; and the brilliant architect and engineer Brunelleschi integrated Gothic and Renaissance elements to build the selfsupporting dome of the Florence Cathedral.This beautifully illustrated guide analyzes the most important people, places, and concepts of this early Renaissance period, whose explosion of creativity was to spread throughout Europe in the sixteenth century.
