Explore the extraordinary contributions of Michelangelo and Raphael during the Renaissance in Rome, where Michelangelo (1475-1564) emerged as the greatest artist of the era, crafting masterpieces like the Statue of David and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. His technique in sculpting the human form in three dimensions set a new standard. Meanwhile, Raphael (1483-1520) became renowned for his use of perspective and balanced compositions in iconic works such as The School of Athens and his serene Madonnas.
