 * Leonardo da Vinci had many talents. He was known as the Renaissance Man and was good at just about everything. This picture, painted by da Vinci of Mona Lisa is arguably one of the best known artworks in history. As well as art, da Vinci invented. His sketches were found of new armor, submarines and flying machines. Leonardo da Vinci contributed knowledge to Italy, creating a better, more advanced society. Da Vinci's talents made Italy wealthier in culture because they had new art, science, and math. The economy rose because they had da Vinci. Also, da Vinci was one of the first to experiment with shadowing human skin in paintings and experienced first-hand what the inside of a human body looked like. He did that so that he could paint it accurately. He opened up a whole new door to painters. || Often called "The Father of Renaissance Painting", Giotto was one of the first people to create an acurate dpeth perseption in painting. He also worked on frescos. Frescos are wet plaster pieces that get painted on and then harden. From what Giotto created, then other artists such as Brunelleschi and Massiaco developed the laws of linear perspective. These artists developed laws that we still use today in art and they created great works that made a prosperus economy. Without the first idea of perspective in art by Giotto, we might still not have it today. ||
