There were many, Shwetu. There was Michealangelo, Durer also Titian.
Oh yes! Mona Lisa is one of the most renowned paintings, right!? Who are the other artists that excelled doing his period, Dadu?
I have also heard that artists were inspired by the ancient Greek Roman culture texts. Painters did not have old works to use as a reference but they painted as realistically as possible.
There were also many sculptures made. Donatello broke new ground with his life-like statues. Michelangelo also made the famous `Pieta` depicting Mary holding the body of Jesus.
Yes, our teacher told us about it. It is called Realism. Artists used the knowledge of physiology, geometry, anatomy physics to give their picture a 3-D quality.
Yes, sure. The sketch by Durer of the `praying hands` not only gives us an idea about the religion's culture in the 16th century, but also a sense of confidence curiosity in man’s new view of the world.
Dadu, I would like to know more about this figure of `praying hands`, it looks so beautiful.
