Dead Christ The Lamentation over the Dead Christ is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna c. 1480. The dating of the piece is debated, but the painting is generally believed to have been finished between 1457 and 1501. The painting portrays the dead Christ on an marble slab; Virgin Mary and St. John weeping over his death. The realism and tragedy of the piece are enhanced by the violent perspective, which dramatizes the figure, stressing the anatomical details particularly Christ’s chest.
Saint James Led to Martyrdom Saint James led to Martyrdom was painted sometime between 1453 and 1455. Mantegna’s mastery of di sotto in su perspective and Mantegna’s archaeologically correct details of Roman architecture is readily apparent in his paintings. The perspective scheme exaggerates the apparent height of the composition and scene. The figures of Saints Peter, Paul and Christopher in Mantegna’s earliest frescos in chapels show Mantegna’s absorption of the monumental figure styles of Tuscany.
Virgin of the Rocks The Virgin of the Rocks, or sometimes called Madonna of the Rocks, is the usual title used for both of two different paintings with almost identical compositions. The painting was painted around 1483- 1486, or earlier. The work is by Leonardo, and is the earliest of two of Leonardo’s paintings. The painting is a perfect example of Leonardo’s “Sfumato” technique. This technique refers to Leonardo’s fine shading and subtle transitions from light to dark giving his paintings an illusionistic atmosphere.
The Last Supper The Last Supper is currently residing at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. Leonardo began work on The Last Supper in 1495 and completed the painting in 1498. The Last Supper portrays the reaction given by each of the apostles when Jesus said one of the apostles would betray Jesus.

Moses Michelangelo’s Moses is yet another one of Renaissance's prominent sculptures. Sculpted around 1513 and 1515, Moses was commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb. The sculpture depicts the biblical figure Moses with horns atop his head, symbolizing authority in ancient Near Eastern culture.
Sistine Chapel Ceiling The Sistine Chapel Ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, is one of the most renowned artworks of the High Renaissance. Commissioned by Pope Julius II, The Sistine Chapel Ceiling is painted with various elements, including The Last Judgment also painted by Michelangelo.

Creation of Adam The Creation of Adam, a section of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, was painted by Michelangelo circa 1511.

Among the panels of the ceiling, The Creation of Adam, was among the last to be completed.
Tomb of Giuliano de Medici The Tomb of Giuliano de’ Medici, was created between 1526 to 1531, by none other than Michelangelo.
