"The Renaissance is characterized by a focus on the arts of Ancient Greece and Rome, which led to many changes in both the technical aspects of painting and sculpture, as well as to their subject matter. It began in Italy, a country rich in Roman heritage as well as material prosperity to fund artists. During the Renaissance, painters began to enhance the realism of their work by using new techniques in perspective, thus representing three dimensions more authentically. Artists also began to use new techniques in the manipulation of light and darkness, such as the tone contrast evident in many of Titian's portraits and the development of sfumato and chiaroscuro by Leonardo da vinci. Sculptors, too, began to rediscover many ancient techniques such as contrapposto. Following with the humanist spirit of the age, art became more secular in subject matter, depicting ancient mythology in addition to Christian themes. This genre of art is often referred to as Renaissance Classicism. In the North, the most important Renaissance innovation was the widespread use of oil paints, which allowed for greater colour and intensity."

The movement that brought an end to the artistic Renaissance was the Baroque period. Baroque art emerged in the 17th century as a reaction against the idealized and harmonious style of Renaissance art. The Baroque style emphasized drama, exaggeration, and emotional expression, marking a departure from the balanced and restrained aesthetics of the Renaissance.
Albrecht Dürer.
The Renaissance is characterized by a shift from the Middle Ages' rejection of classical styles. In painting and sculpture, it revisits the naturalism that was popular in the Greek and Roman periods and encorporates it into the subjects important at the time (namely, Christianity.) It also reintegrates the nudity characterized in the classical periods. In architecture, it moves away from the Gothic styles to embrace those popular in Roman times, though some of the Gothic concepts remain. They returned to rounded arches rather than the Gothic pointed arches, solid and monumental structures rather than the light and almost skeletal Gothic structures, and overall rounded design. Some of the characteristics specific to the Renaissance: the use of vanishing points in paintings to add depth (which brought about techniques like foreshortening); an emphasis on the figures' "gaze" (where they are looking); and many of the paintings have encorporated or are based on the specific person who comissioned the artwork, as the renaissance was fueled by the contributions of patrons (example: Michaelangelo gave the devil the face of one of the Pope's advisors in his painting of the Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel.)
