It was innovative in its design and controversial in its subjects. The new art was both realistic and beautiful. The city of Florence became the center of one of the most concentrated and productive periods in the history of the arts.The most significant innovation in painting during the Renaissance was the use of Perspective drawing. Painting from the Middle Ages did not have a realistic sense of depth and tended to look flat. Early Renaissance artists developed a system for creating depth called perspective using the horizon line and the vanishing point. One of the first artists to paint with a believable sense of depth was Giotto (1267-1337), but his work didn't employ the system of linear perspective. Sometimes called the "FATHER OF RENAISSANCE PAINTING," GIOTTO was also a pioneer in the field of fresco painting. Later, artists such as Brunelleschi (1377-1446) and MASACCIO (1401-1428) helped develop the science of linear perspective. || Michelangelo had created a masterpiece that was larger than life itself. Containing over 300 gigantic, colorful figures, Michelangelo depicted several scenes from the Bible. The centerpiece, CREATION OF ADAM, shows God extending his hand to touch Adam's to give Adam life. The sheer size and brilliance of the Sistine Chapel ceiling have made it the High Renaissance's grandest work of art.
