| Masaccio |  | Masaccio (December 21, 1401 - autumn 1428), was the first great painter of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. His frescoes are the earliest monuments of Humanism, and introduce a plasticity previously unseen in figure painting. |
| Enguerrand Quarton |  | Enguerrand Quarton or Charonton (c. 1410 - c. 1466) was a French painter and manuscript illuminator whose few surviving works are among the first masterpieces of a distinctively French style, very different from either Italian or Early Netherlandish painting. |
| Piero della Francesca |  | Piero della Francesca (c. 1412 - October 12, 1492) was an Italian artist of the Early Renaissance. His painting was characterized by its serene humanism and its use of geometric forms, particularly in relation to perspective and foreshortening. |
| Giovanni Bellini |  | Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430 - 1516), Venetian painter, is probably the best known of the Bellini family of painters; his father was Jacopo Bellini and his brother was Gentile Bellini. |
| Hans Memling |  | Hans Memling (Memlinc) (c. 1430 - 11 August 1494) was an Early Netherlandish painter, born in Germany, who was the last major fifteenth century artist in the Low Countries, the successor to Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden, whose tradition he continued with little innovation. |
| Andrea Mantegna |  | Andrea Mantegna (c. 1431 - September 13, 1506) was an Italian Renaissance artist. |
| Andrea del Verrocchio |  | Andrea del Verrocchio, born Andrea di Michele di Francesco de' Cioni, (c. 1435 - 1488) was an influential Italian sculptor, goldsmith and painter who worked at the court of Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence. His pupils included Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Ghirlandaio and Sandro Botticelli, but he also influenced Michelangelo. He worked in the serenely classic style of the Florentine Early Renaissance. |
