Descent from the Cross, tempera

Italian Renaissance painting is most often be divided into four periods: the Proto-Renaissance (1300–1425), the Early Renaissance (1425–1495), the High Renaissance (1495–1520), and Mannerism (1520–1600). The city of Florence is renowned as the birthplace of the Renaissance, and in particular of Renaissance painting. From the early 15th to late 16th centuries, Italy was divided into many political states. The painters of Renaissance Italy wandered Italy, disseminating artistic and philosophical ideas. The Proto-Renaissance begins with the professional life of the painter Giotto and includes Taddeo Gaddi, Orcagna and Altichiero. The Early Renaissance style was started by Masaccio and then further developed by Fra Angelico, Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca, Sandro Botticelli, Verrocchio, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Giovanni Bellini. The High Renaissance period was that of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Andrea del Sarto, Coreggio, Giorgione, the latter works of Giovanni Bellini, and Titian. The Mannerist period, dealt with in a separate article, included the latter works of Michelangelo, as well as Pontormo, Parmigianino, Bronzino and Tintoretto.

Girolamo da Cremona was an Italian painter and architect who lived during the Renaissance. He was born in Cremona, Italy in 1451 and died in Rome in 1483. Girolamo is best known for his frescoes and altarpieces, which were strongly influenced by the works of Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini. He also worked as an architect, designing buildings and structures in Cremona and Rome. One of his most famous works is the cycle of frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St John the Baptist in the church of San Giovanni Battista in Cremona. The frescoes are notable for their use of perspective and foreshortening, innovative techniques at the time. Girolamo's career was cut short when he died at the age of 32. However, his works continue to be admired and studied by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
