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.
