Italian Renaissance

The Italian Renaissance era was a time when the quality of paint and tools were greatly improved so the life-likeness of the subjects is more detailed and more impressive than the medieval era. More of the pieces of art were made for fun or households instead of the church because of the corruption of the popes.
