What to look for

Italian Renaissance: compared with Northern Renaissance painting it is more idealised and classical, with fewer tiny details; the Early and High Renaissance are its two main phases.

Masaccio (December 21, 1401 – summer 1428), born Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, was a Florentine artist who is regarded as the first great Italian painter of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. Wikipedia
