In art history, the High Renaissance was a brief period of brilliant artistic production in the Italian states. Great artistic achievements were particularly strong in Rome, the capital of the Papal States and in Florence. Most art historians believe the dates of the High Renaissance were roughly 1495-1520. The Timken Musuem of Art will host a discussion about the High Renaissance period, of which some of the most noted artists, architects, and sculptors include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Bramante. With regard to High Renaissance painting, significant achievements were made during this era including advancements in linear perspective, realistic depictions of both physical and psychological features, along with the use of chiaroscuro and sfumato.
