Renaissance paintings are said to be very detailed and
in-depth. (Mr. Dowling)
Compared to the medieval era, Renaissance paintings
showed amazing levels of realism.
Artists could make 2-D images look 3-D.
To increase the quality of their paintings, artists would
use better paints and technology and the use of light and
shadows. (Armstrong, 178)
Giotto was the first painter to use this new style.
 His paintings showed emotion and perspective.
 The Renaissance art would be built off of Giotto's
style. (Bulliet, 367)
Raphael, The Betrothal of the Virgin.
