the Renaissance

As we all know that the Europeans changes took place in art, literature, science, medicine and architecture; they looked things in a new way throughout the Renaissance.

We can observe that those points can be seen in Lenoardo da Vinci’s and Michelangelo’s masterpieces like The Mona Lisa and David. They both did their paintings/sculture in very different way with the days before 14th centuries. In The Mona Lisa, Lenoardo da Vinci painted in the three-dimensional way and it represents the new painting style that makes the painting looked sharper and more realistic. In David, Michelangelo also made it in a realistic way.

Besides, they both got great achievements like painter, sculptor, architect, poet.
