Originally, members of the family gained wealth and influence through banking. Over time, they had established themselves as prominent financiers and merchants in the city. They then used their vast wealth to support the arts by commissioning works. Then, in the fifteenth century, ideas from the Renaissance moved from Italy to France and eventually to other parts of western and northern Europe. Even while the Renaissance came to other European nations later than it did Italy, its effects were nonetheless revolutionary. Two of the most well-known pieces of art in history were painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance: the Last Supper (c. 1495–98) and the Mona Lisa (c. 1503–19). Artists didn’t add any element of artificiality in their work. Realism presents reality as it exists and that’s what creators aimed for. They even went on to study anatomy and keenly observed the world around them in order to hone their skills. Their work is known for capturing minute details like gestures, emotions, and expressions with remarkable precision. Additionally, they were arranged in a way that created a narrative flow and gave the impression of depth through the use of overlapping figures. And sometimes people accidentally capture photos that match the realistic standards of the Renaissance era. Which of these ‘Accidental Renaissance’ photos took you back in time?
