Virgin of the Rocks
- Artist: Leonardo da Vinci
- Year: 1486

The piece depicts the Virgin Mary, the Christ Child, the infant John the Baptist, and an angel in a rocky setting. This piece is regarded as a prime example of Leonardo's sfumato style.
Sfumato style
- One of the four canonical painting modes of the Renaissance; the other three being Cangiante, Chiaroscuro, and Unione.
- Sfumato comes from the Italian "sfumare", “to tone down” or “to evaporate like smoke”.
Leda and the Swan
- Artist: Peter Paul Rubens
- Year: 1600
- Type: Oil on panel
- Location: Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Rubens' piece is thought to be inspired by Michelangelo himself. The form of the female body is mirrored of Michelangelo's style, while the theme, is a common Renaissance Baroque subject of females in love with divinities.
The Wedding at Cana
- Artist: Paolo Veronese
- Year: 1563
- Type: Oil on canvas
- Location: Louvre, Paris, France
The architecture shown is classic Greco-Roman with Doric and Corinthian columns. Instruments in the piece are of the Renaissance age. Behind the musicians, Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary are shown seated with halos. As tradition holds, Veronese painted himself into his piece. He is shown in a white tunic and holding a viola. The artist Titan is seated across from him in red. Many kings, queens, and popes are thought to be portrayed as some of the subjects, but, nothing confirmed.
Mars and Venus
- Artist: Sandro Botticelli
- Year: 1483
- Type: Tempera on panel
- Location: The National Gallery, London, England
The scene has an extremely tight and compact horizon and sense of perspective. Yet, in the distance you can still see the sea from which Venus was born from.
