DESCRIBING A RENAISSANCE PAINTING or SCULPTURE

As we have seen in class, it is very important to know how to describe a painting, in addition to this, we are in the unit about Renaissance in Art History, so you should create your own description with the details and customes I have explained in the last session. (mythology or scene represented, artist who created it, style, date, details about the style...) in order. 

Here, i put a range of paintings and sculptures more relevant during the Renaissance, most of them are made by italian artists, but not all, there are some about the German and Flanders renaissance style. Also, if you are really interested in the description of one that it does not appear in the entree, you could do it, but first, ask to me if it is possible, because probably it does not include in the Renaissance movement.
