Timing

Maybe I've been taught differently but from my understanding, the High Renaissance starts 1507 with Rafael's Entombment piece. 24.187.77.211 20:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Thats wrong see the High Renaissance began in 1490, with Leonardo da Vinci "Last Supper" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.134.19.80 (talk) 16:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

what did da Vinci have to do with the High Renaissance? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.65.118 (talk) 23:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Da Vinci had plenty of things to do with the High Renaissance. He is a member of the H.R. triad that contributed most to this era. He embodied the perfect Renaissance man. In his paintings he raised the bar by contributing a deeper intellegence and emotion not just how to depict form like early renaissance. He also designed his layouts in a 3-D space, gave the painting meaning, and expressed modeling with perfect chairoscuro. You can see this in his works such as the Virgin on the Rocks, Last Supper, and Mona Lisa. Leonardo da Vinci is part of the heart and soul of the High Renaissance.

What did Albrecht Durer have to with the High Renaissance? Which two of his paintings were an example of this art movement? Why did the High Renaissance begin? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:31B8:D900:E1EB:EBFD:4E73:64BD (talk) 20:28, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Title

As I already stated when I changed the title 12 days ago, this article should only be called the "Italian High Renaissance". There was a similar Renaissance in the Netherlands and Germany which is not discussed in this article at all; plus many argue Spain and France had renaissances as well. Therefore, the title needs to be specific to Italy.Informed analysis (talk) 22:11, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

No it doesn't. "High Renaissance" has always been a term specifically limited to Italy. We follow reliable sources and the normal term in these is the current title. Other countries of course had a Renaissance period, but not a "High Renaissance". Johnbod (talk) 22:52, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
