Of the techniques listed below, those which I most associate with the Renaissance artists are the following:
C - Chiaroscuro to make figures in paintings look real and solid.
D - Figures with pleasing proportion, accurate anatomy, ideal beauty, and physical perfection.
E - Sfumato to create a smoky or hazy appearance in paintings.
Whilst
renaissance artists did use the technique of atmospheric perspective,
this was not to create a sense of flatness, but rather the create levels
of depth within the paintings.
