Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo were Italians artists. They were often referred to as the Masters of the Renaissance. People also call them some of the greatest artists of all time. Their art was highly influenced by Greece and how they did their art. They were influenced by the Greeks because they wanted to bring back the great art from Greece. One of the most famous artworks which was made by Leonardo Da Vinci, is known commonly as the Mona Lisa.
Greeks mainly used bronze as their choice of metal, it was easy to manipulate and, in their time. The Greeks used metal to make things such as bowls, knifes, shields, armor and drinking cups. Many of these things were deeply decorated, because the Greeks were deeply devoted to their work.
Greek architecture is a very specific and influential type of design, which was based off of the post-and-lintel system. This system was made up of columns with a roof over top. The columns were often carved with scenes of battles and mythological creatures that the early Greeks believed of.
Another form of art that the Greek really mastered was the Mosaic art. These were complex patterns that were made out of small pieces of things such as pottery, glass and tiles. Thousands of these pieces were put together to form a picture of figure. The Greeks use Mosaic Art to decorate their buildings. It can be done on the floor, or on the walls, making it a it great option for Greek people to decorate their homes.
