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.

Donato Bramante (1444 – 11 April 1514), born as Donato di Pascuccio d'Antonio and also known as Bramante Lazzari, was an Italian architect and painter. He introduced Renaissance architecture to Milan and the High Renaissance style to Rome, where his plan for St. Peter's Basilica formed the basis of the design executed by Michelangelo. Wikipedia
