1. Renaissance Art
By Rhese, Vanessa, Ava and Sofie

2. Mona Lisa
By Vanessa
The Mona Lisa was painted by the
Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci in
Florence, Italy. He worked on it
between 1503 - 1506 and possibly in
1517. The painting is thought to be a
portrait of Lisa Gherardini painted with
oil on poplar. The painting is a
mystery, no one for sure knows who
the woman is, or when it was painted,
but it is probably the worlds most
recognized and famous piece of art.
The portrait is on display at the Louvre
in Paris, France.

3. Betrothal of Arnolfini
By Rhese
The Betrothal of Arnolfini was painted by
Jan van Eyck. It was one of his most
famous portraits. The Betrothal of
Arnolfini represented an italian merchant,
Giovani Arnolfini, who had come to the
Netherlands for buiseness, with his bride,
Jeanne De Chenany. In this time period,
this type of painting was really rare and
interesting. A simple cornere of the real
world had suddenly been fixed on to a
panel as if by magic. This painting
probably represented a soloem moment-
their betrothal.

4. The Last Supper
By Vanessa
The Last Supper, also by
Leonardo da Vinci was painted
from 1494 through 1498 in Milan,
Italy. It is a 15th century mural
painting of the Convent of Santa
Maria delle Grazie. Leonardo da
Vinci didn't want to paint in
fresco, because the paint dried
quickly, and he was always
chaning the poses of his
characters. The paint peeled off
almost immedietly, and artists
and conservationists have been
trying to restore it.

5. Lady with an Ermine
By Ava
Lady with an Ermine is a picture of
Cecilia Gallerani. She was the
mistress of Ludovico Sforza who was
Leonardo da Vinci's employer. Her
family was not rich or noble, but she
became well known for her beauty,
her poetry, and her scholarship. This
portrait was painted when she was
sixteen. She was painted with an
ermine to show purity.
An ermine is a weasel with black
on the tail and a brown coat of fur
that usually turns white in winter.
