Renaissance
Renaissance art encompasses the painting, sculpture, and decorative arts from the European historical period referred to as the Renaissance.
Renaissance art includes painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and literature created in Europe during the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. It emerged from a combination of factors, including a heightened appreciation of nature, a revival of classical knowledge, and a more individualistic perspective on humanity.
Contrary to the notion of a sudden break from mediaeval values implied by the term "renaissance," historical evidence suggests that interests in nature, humanistic learning, and individualism were already present in the late mediaeval era. These ideas gained prominence in 15th- and 16th-century Italy alongside social and economic changes like the secularisation of daily life, the growth of a rational money-based economy, and increased social mobility.

Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
