The Renaissance brought art and culture at a level that the world was not expecting to receive. There are many famous artist at this time but the two that are my favorites are Leonardo da Vinci's and Michelandgelo's. These names are recognized by all different types of cultures around the world. The reason that is true is because of the impact it had on the word art itself. The dedication these two artist had for their work was almost unbelievable.
Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna and Child with Saint Anne tells one of the most famous stories with a single image. With St. Anne, the virgin mary, baby jesus, or even the lamb have very specific meaning. Unfortunately, the original sketch is lost to us. Each small expression gives an exact emotion that Leonardo wanted to convey. This is without doubt a very famous piece of art, but quite possibly one of the most famous pieces belonged to Michelangelo.
Michelandgelo's David is a sculpture that also is from the Bible. David and goliath is a very famous story and is well known. David was the underdog that became a great hero. Facing a giant named Goliath, the young shepherd proved that brains can beat bronze. A lesson that is told to every child even today. David used his sling shot and aimed for the giants head, killing him with one stone.
