Sandro BotticelliAlessandro di Mariano Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli (Florence March 1, 1445 - May 17, 1510) was an Italian painter of the Florentine school during the Early Renaissance (Quattrocento). Less than a hundred years later, this moment, under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, was characterized by Giorgio Vasari as a "golden age" a thought, suitably enough, he expressed at the head of his Vita of Botticelli.
Pietro PeruginoPietro Perugino (1446-1524) was the leading painter of the Umbrian school, who developed some of the qualities that found classic expression in the High Renaissance.

Hieronymous BoschHieronymus Bosch, also Jeroen Bosch, (ca. 1450 - August, 1516) was a prolific Dutch painter of the 15th and 16th century. Many of his works depict sin and human moral failings; they contain complex, highly original, imaginative, and dense use of symbolic figures and iconography, some of which was obscure even in his own time. He is said to have been an inspiration to the surrealism movement in the 20th century.

He has been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man" and as a universal genius. Leonardo is famous for his masterly paintings, such as The Last Supper and Mona Lisa.
