High Renaissance Art Introduction

Religion in this case interests me as it allows me to create a personal relationship between the paintings and our reality.

I hope to learn more about religion in relation to Leonardo Da Vinci’s works.

I also hope to create a connection with the different forms of art which existed at his time and how they used the theme for their development.

It allowed a painter such as Leonardo Da Vinci to express their feelings and emotions towards different aspects of religion through their paintings.
