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.

Cosimo Rosselli (1439–1507) was an Italian painter of the Quattrocento, active mainly in his birthplace of Florence, but also in Pisa earlier in his career and in 1481–82 in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, where he painted some of the large frescoes on the side walls. Wikipedia
