CIVILIZATION
Renaissance Art
The desire for beauty and freedom of
expression can be seen in all forms of art
created during the Renaissance period.
Artists of this time reacted against the
monotony of medieval art. During this time the
greatest sculptor in Italy was Michelangelo,
who was also a gifted painter. His statue of
Moses and his painting (fresco) on the roof
of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel can be
admired today as masterpieces of art.
