As we all know, the Renaissance was a time of great art and change. Three of the great artists of the Renaissance were Bellini, Michelangelo, and Raphael.

Michelangelo was born on March 6th, 1469, in a town near Florence. His mother passed away before Michelangelo was six years old, leaving him only with the nobleman who was his father. He began to show an interest in art by the age of 12, and was set to be an artist at the age of 13. His tutorship was under the great sculptor, Donatello. Michelangelo seemed to be interested in the male anatomy, and most of his sculptors and painting were of nude males. Some of his carvings include; Madonna of the Stairs, Pieta, and Doni Tondo. Some of his great paintings include the paintings of the Sistine Chapel, which is considered his greatest glory, and The Last Judgement. Raphael was one of the most popular artists of all time. He was born on April 6th, 1483, as Raffaelo Sanzio. Raphael was said to be unusually handsome, pensive and fair. He received most of his training techniques from his father, Giovanni Santi, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. His great emotional themes were serenity and beauty. His paintings included: Madonna dell Granduca, The Small Cowper Madonna, the Alba Madonna, Stanza dell Incendio, and Saints and Angels. Raphael had great interest in portraiture and he was a classical perfectionist. His paintings were doing using oil on wood. So, in conclusion, the Renaissance has many different artists and I have chosen and elaborated on three, just three. In my opinion, the artists that perspired during the Renaissance were the most innovative and magnificent artists that ever lived.
