Summary:

The historical and philosophical background of Renaissance Italy shows how certain groups in society controlled and guided the activities of artists. The patronage of the Catholic Church, the nobility, and the great banking and merchant families elevated the artist from the position of humble craftsman to that of admired and rewarded genius. The stylistic and technical elements that define Italian Renaissance art are described and clarified with examples.
