The Renaissance began in Italy in the 15th century and later spread to Spain, influencing Spanish art, architecture, and culture. Some characteristic Spanish Renaissance styles included plateresque architecture known for intricate stonework, coffer ceilings and grotesque designs inspired by ancient Roman styles, and influential painters like Pedro Berruguete and Luis de Morales who helped establish Renaissance artistic conventions in Spain.
