Active artistic regions in Europe during the period: Flanders and Italy
Almost all early Renaissance art were produced between 1420 and 1550.
HIGH RENAISSANCE (C. 1490-
1530)
This was the period when classical ideals of humanism were fully
implemented in both painting and sculpture. The preceding Early
Renaissance had been centered on Florence and paid for by the ruling
Medici family while the High Renaissance was centered on Rome and
paid for by the Pontiff.
High Renaissance artists wanted beauty and harmony more than realism,
they looked for ultimate truths in the study of the classical world of Greek
and Roman culture.

LATE RENAISSANCE OR
MANNERISM
The word mannerism is derived from the Italian Maniera, meaning “style”
or “manner”. Mannerism was a European art style that appeared in the
later years of Italian High Renaissance around 1520 to 1580.
In comparison with High Renaissance art that emphasizes proportion,
balance and ideal beauty, Mannerism exaggerates such qualities, often
resulting in compositions that are asymmetrical or unnaturally elegant. It
favored compositional tension and instability rather than the balance and
clarity of earlier Renaissance painting.
LATE RENAISSANCE
OR MANNERISM
• Mostly, the mannerist painting was more artificial than natural.
This could be attributed to such characteristics as the unnatural
display of emotions, unproportionate human figures, unnatural
poses, uncommon effects of scale, use of lighting or perspective,
and bright loud color.
• The end of the Renaissance was caused largely by the beginning
of the protestant Reformation that set off violent conflicts
throughout Europe and eliminated much of the funding for art.
