Early Renaissance“The Tribute Money” by Masaccio 1425-1428
The painting is part of a cycle on the life of Saint Peter, and describes a scene from the Gospel of Matthew, in which Jesus directs Peter to find a coin in the mouth of a fish in order to pay the temple tax
Early Renaissance“Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli 1486
Botticelli was commissioned to paint the work by the Medici family of Florence, specifically Lorenzo de' Medici under the influence of his cousin Lorenzo de' Medici, close friend to Botticelli . It depicts the goddess Venus, having emerged from the sea as a fully grown woman, arriving at the sea-shore
Filippo BrunelleschiEarly Renaissance“Il Duomo” (left -1436) and the Church of San Lorenzo (1459-right) by Filippo Brunelleschi
Brunelleschi was commissioned to complete the dome for the Florence Cathedral and design the Church of San Lorenzo by the Medici family of Florence. The design of the dome was doubted as many wondered how an enclosed dome of that size would hold up under its own weight. The Church of San Lorenzo is well known for its rounded arches, classical columns, and coffered ceiling that do not overwhelm the worshipper.

High-Late RenaissanceSt. Peter’s Basilica 1506-1626 by Bramante, Michelangelo, Maderno, and Bernini
The basilica was commissioned by Pope Julius II to “aggrandize himself in the popular imagination” and continued by many subsequent popes over the next 120 years. Pope Julius II bankrupt the Vatican treasury while building it which led to the sale of indulgences. It is arguably the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture.
Michelangelo - DavidHigh RenaissanceThe Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo-1512
Michelangelo Buonarroti was commissioned by Pope Julius II in 1508 to repaint the vault, or ceiling, of the Chapel. It was originally painted as golden stars on a blue sky. The work was completed between 1508 and 2 November 1512
This is one of the most famous frescoes by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. It was painted as a part of Raphael's commission by Pope Julius II to decorate with frescoes the rooms now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. It has been suggested that nearly every Greek philosopher can be found within the painting.
