Renaissance it means rebirth, this period was all about reviving classical art. It was developed over Europe, Italy and Flanders. Their common subject matters are people, religion and their everyday life. We can see on their artworks that the styles they used are idealism, realism, symbolism and naturalism. In each of their artwork there are things that symbolizes everything like the " Venus of Urbino " this seen is arranged that lady symbolizes or represents the ideal woman, the dog symbolizes loyalty and the woman at the back represents that the lady just finished her bath. This artwork has love of colors and has a dramatic spotlight. You can see also the realistic of this painting the entanglement of the cloths are very detailed. This is one of the painting that I like in this period.
