During the Middle Ages, painting in Europe was largely focused on religious subjects, with artists creating elaborate illuminated manuscripts and altarpieces. The Renaissance period in Italy brought about a revival in the arts, with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael creating masterpieces that showcased their technical skill and innovation. The development of oil painting techniques in the 15th century allowed artists to create more detailed and realistic works of art.
