Framed High Renaissance Art

The art of the Renaissance is among the most widely beloved art in the world today, as it was when it first was created. As a result, collections of framed high Renaissance art typically contain pieces that can be recognized and appreciated by even those with a very limited art background, as many of the more notable works have found their way into educational settings, TV and movies, and other forms of pop culture.

Leonardo da Vinci was an extremely prolific painter and contributor to the body of framed high Renaissance paintings, even as he was also pursuing discoveries in science and philosophy. His works often unified these seemingly unrelated aspects of his life, as is evidenced in his sketchbooks, where pieces like “Studies of Hydraulic Devices” and an anatomical rendering of the human “Heart” co-exist with the inspirations and early stages of paintings like “The Mona Lisa.”
