Florentine Art refers to the artistic style that emerged in Florence, Italy, during the Renaissance, roughly from the 14th to the 16th centuries. This period is characterized by a renewed interest in classical antiquity, humanism, and the use of perspective in painting. Notable artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Sandro Botticelli contributed significantly to this movement, creating works that emphasized realism and emotional expression. The art of this era includes various forms, such as painting, sculpture, and architecture. Florentine painters often employed techniques like chiaroscuro and sfumato to create depth and atmosphere. Additionally, the Medici family played a crucial role in patronizing artists and fostering an environment that encouraged creativity and innovation in the arts.
