Fine Arts Sculptors such as Donatello and later Michelangelo went back to classical techniques like contrapposto, and classical subjects like the unsupported nude. Painters began to utilize methods of realism by improving skills in three-dimensional perspective. Painters began to veer away from religious themes and focused more on people and landscapes. Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo Buonarroti were some of the most prominent Renaissance painters. for more information check here    to watch the video, click here.              Vitruvian man                       La Gioconda,La Monalisa

How did it start?   The Great Depression began with the crash of the stock market in October of 1929. Historians and economists give various causes for the Great Depression including drought, overproduction of goods, bank failures, stock speculation, and consumer debt.  Dorothea Lange was a photographer whose portraits of displaced farmers during the Great Depression greatly influenced later documentary photography.
