Renaissance

                The Medici family occupied a very high position in Florence because of their political power and wealth and meanwhile, they were the leaders of the Renaissance.  At the beginning of the Renaissance, they supported the artists’ art creations and let them completely focus on their work without having to worry about the lack of money.  For example, the Medic helped the poor architect Filippo Brunelleschi when no one could understand his ideas about architecture.   Finally, Brunelleschi created the concept of linear perspective and made great progress in his work and then helped the Medici further develop their businesses. Donatello was also a famous artist the Medici supported during the Renaissance.  He successfully opened a new way for the development of art in Italy.  The sculpture bronze David was the first naked statue since ancient Roman times; therefore, it was very revolutionary. Moreover, it was innovation because the boy only wore the hat and boots but exposed the secret part of his body to people. The artwork portrayed shame and displayed a little sensuality. However, it showed the artist’s clear interpretations of divine perfection and human value.
