The Early Renaissance
Part I: The rebirth of classical themes and humanistic ideas marked the Renaissance in Italy, as seen in Florentines Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Ghiberti, and Botticelli. Part II: Glowing color - made possible by the new medium of oil paint - and minute detail set the work of the Flemish masters Van Eyck and Grunewald apart from the Florentines.
