Florentine School, early 15th Century

The Florentine School of the early 15th century represents a pivotal moment in Western art history, emerging from the workshops and guilds of Florence during the dawn of the Renaissance. Artists of this period, often anonymous masters or workshop collaborators, pioneered the use of linear perspective, naturalistic figuration, and humanist iconography under patrons such as the Medici family and the Church. Their work bridges the International Gothic tradition with the revolutionary innovations of figures like Brunelleschi, Masaccio, and Fra Angelico.
