Pietro Perugino (1446/1450 – 1523), born Pietro Vannucci, was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Umbrian school. He developed some of the qualities that found classic expression in the High Renaissance.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475–1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (1452 – 1519) was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of “unquenchable curiosity” and “feverishly inventive imagination.”
