Renaissance Art

The history of artistic achievements of humanity bears the marks of the ever-changing inner landscape of the human being, starting in the caves, leading through the various early civilisations artistic manifestations to the triumphal individual accomplishments of the late medieval times in Europe to finally elevate individualism as the pivotal philosophical premise of the contemporary scene of art-making.

The Renaissance in Europe has a notable place in this changing scene of expression of the human condition as it brought the ideas of Antiquity back into play in the development of consciousness and reiterated the Western cultural ideal of the importance of the personal, the unique and therefore transient, and elevating it to permanence by giving it such value as attributed to the apparent Leonardo da Vinci work Salvator Mundi selling for a little over $450 million.
