Fine Art Touch explores the phenomenon that was Italian Renaissance Art. Such an exploration must begin with an examination of many complex factors which were present in Italian culture prior to the Renaissance. Italian Renaissance art was an evolution fueled by extraordinary achievements by Italian Renaissance artists and architects, evolving from a rich  Italian artistic tradition.

Italian Renaissance artists lived within the shadow of ancient Rome.

The Roman Empire was dead, and Rome was in ruins, but significant art and architecture remained, still visible to everyday Italian passers-by. The Italian city-states were at war, but Italian people as a whole had their own heritage of art dating all the way back to the time of the Caesars.

Coffers overflowed feeding Italian Renaissance art and artists.

The coffers of Florence, Rome, and Venice would overflow with wealth. Some of that wealth would flow into the patronage of Italian Renaissance Art. A new way of thinking called "humanism" was born during the Italian Renaissance, spurred by an influx of classical knowledge.

Within this brew, this cultural maelstrom, arose artistic giants like Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian. The work of these Italian Renaissance artists and others like them influences our culture and our aesthetic sensibilities even today. It is this mix of diverse elements that Fine Art Touch examines.
