4. THE RENAISSANCE
The word renaissance means "rebirth." The idea of rebirth originated in the belief that Europeans had rediscovered the superiority of Greek and Roman culture after many centuries of what they considered intellectual and cultural decline.
Michelangelo’s best known creations is the sculpture David ( ). The 14.2-ft tall marble statue shows an alert David waiting for his enemy Goliath.
The School of Athens ( ) is one of several frescoes that Italian Renaissance artist Raphael painted in the Vatican Palace’s Stanza della Segnatura.

Francisco Goya, The Bullfight
Casper David Friedich, The Chalk Cliff of Rugen

9. REALISM Winslow Homer, Noreaster
Realism (art and literature), in art and literature, an attempt to describe human behavior and surroundings or to represent figures and objects exactly as they act or appear in life.
