The document describes two major periods in European art history - the Renaissance from the 14th to 17th centuries, and the Baroque period in the 17th century. The Renaissance saw a return to ideals of ancient Greece and Rome, with religious art depicting man as both noble and perfect. Major artists included Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. The Baroque period took the realism of the Renaissance and added more drama, movement, energy, and passion through its architecture, art forms like painting, and use of fonts and paints. Major Baroque artists mentioned are Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Karel Škréta.
