The Death of Procris — Piero di Cosimo

High Renaissance

What to look for

High Renaissance: the Early Renaissance before it is crisper and more linear; Mannerism after it twists the same figures into elongated, unstable poses.

Piero di Cosimo (2 January 1462 – 12 April 1522), also known as Piero di Lorenzo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, who continued to use an essentially Early Renaissance style into the 16th century. Wikipedia
