High Renaissance painting and sculpture in Italian Renaissance art refers to
the artistic style of the early 16th century in Florence and Rome. Characteristic of High Renaissance painting and sculpture is humanistic
content, heroic composition, and technical mastery. High Renaissance painting is embodied in the fine art works of Italian Renaissance
artists like Leonardo, Michelangelo, and
Raphael.
