This picture was The Last Supper. It was also made my Leonardo da Vinci. It was about the last meal, according to Christian belief, Jesus shared with His Apostles. Leonardo was like a despot for making all of this famous paintings.

 This is a picture of the statue David, it is a VERY famous statue in Florence, Italy. It was made by Michelangelo. David  was portrayed after his victory, triumphant over Goliath. Art in the Renaissance was usually nude, so that is why David is nude.

This is a painting of The School of Athens. It is an Italian fresco made by the brilliant artist Raphael. This could've looked like a rite.

Another clamor Michelangelo did was The Statue of Moses. Moses, you can see is another strong powerful figure just like David. The expression of Michelangelo's Moses is a mixture of compassion and anger.
