Introduction

Up until about 1300, European painting, sculpture and architecture were dominated by forms of Gothic art, which drew much of its inspiration from Byzantine art of the Eastern Roman Empire. Then, during the early years of the 14th century – the era of Italian Pre-Renaissance Painting (1300-1400) and the Sienese School – the Florentine painter Giotto (1267-1337) caused a sensation with his Scrovegni (Arena) Chapel Frescoes (1303-10). A pupil of Cimabue, Giotto was the first artist to reject the flat Gothic style of painting, and to give his figures depth and character. Giotto’s new style ushered in what we now call Proto-Renaissance art – a stepping stone to Renaissance art proper.

The Italian Renaissance proper emerged during the quattrocento (1400-1500). Its first phase is called the Early Renaissance, or the Florentine Renaissance, because it was centred on Florence. Early Renaissance painting continued to be influenced by Gothic forms as well as the revolutionary ideas of Giotto, but new techniques developed in Florence soon gave Renaissance art a new and wholly distinctive character.

The 3 most influential founders of the Renaissance in Florence included: (in design) the architect Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446), who was a central figure of early Renaissance architecture (see: Florence Cathedral, Brunelleschi and the Renaissance (1420-36); the painter Tommaso Masaccio (1401-28), who painted the Brancacci Chapel frescoes; and Donatello (1386-1466) – the first of the great Renaissance sculptors – who created the revolutionary bronze nude of David. Other major contributors to the Early Renaissance included: Piero della Francesca (1422-92). Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506) and Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510).
