Arts. Arts. Arts.
For me, the the best period of arts in the history was "Renaissance". According to my researches, the Renaissance began in Italy in the 1300s and was characterized by an intellectual movement away from the religious themes that had blessed in the Middle Ages. Instead, artists during Renaissance began to focus on worldly themes of arts such as the importance of the individual. At the same time, artists began to imitate the styles, particularly in sculpture, that were common in old days. Some of the most famous artists of the Renaissance include Michelangelo for the frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and his statue of the biblical David; Leonardo da Vinci for his many paintings including the Mona Lisa; and Raphael for his painting The School of Athens, which describes important philosophers from old days. The Renaissance was also a time when learning in many disciplines spread due to a higher standard of living which led to increasing numbers of universities, academies, and libraries.
Much of this learning influenced the art styles of the period. Painters during the Renaissance used increasing levels of mathematical attention in their work, learning how to apply techniques we take for granted today, such as the use of perspective to portray scenes which appear highly realistic to the viewer. Portrait artists used improved anatomical knowledge to paint human figures which looked accurate. The main distinction between the art of the Middle Ages and that of the Renaissance is the level of realism present in painting and sculpture.
