Memling, Van Eyck, Antonello da Messina, Raphael, Holbein, Titian, Leonardo... these are the greatest names of the Renaissance which symbolize the ultimate in artistic achievement. Whether Italian, Flemish, or German, all were masters of the portrait, a style that was popular and much appreciated during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
