Since Renaissance means ``new birth'', it is obvious that it cannot stand
still. Once something is born, it begins to grow. But never has there
been growth as lovely as that of painting as it matured into the
High Renaissance. Here we find some of the greatest artists ever known:
the mighty Florentines,
Leonardo da Vinci and
Michelangelo;
the Umbrian,
Raphael;
and, equal in might, the Venetians --
Titian,
Tintoretto
and Veronese.
