Renaissance started in Florence, Italy, in 1400's, when the world woke up that's why this movement it's called Renaissance, meaning rebirth or reborn. Quickly, this renaissance spread to Rome and Venice, then, in 1500, to the rest of Europe: the Netherlands, Germany, France, and England known as the Northern Renaissance.

Greek and Roman art was rediscovered during the Renaissance and the scientific study of the body and the natural world, and the intent to reproduce the forms of nature realistically was so important in this movement.

High Renaissance, began in 1500 to 1520 when skills increased as well as the prestige of the artists like Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. During Renaissance they used oil on canvas to paint, because with this method a mineral like lapis lazuli was fround fine, then mixed with rupentine and oil to be applied as oil paint.

When talking about perspective, a vanishing point is the place where all the lines in the painting seem to converge. They also used the light and shadows in a technique called chiaroscuro meaning "ligh/dark" in Italian, referred to the modeling forms in painting by which lighter parts seemes to emerge form darker areas, producing the illusion of rounded, sculpture in relief o a flar surface.

A lot of Italian Renaissance workarts had pyramid configuraion. And the first three important Renaissance artist were Masaccio and Donatello, who reintroduced naturalism to art, and Botticelli, whose elegant linear figures reached a height of refinement.
