The city of Rome attracted some of the greatest Italian artists of the 16th century at the beginning of their careers. They are the reason why the city developed at a fast rate.
The primary stylistic achievements of 15th-century Italian artists include the development of linear perspective, naturalism, and the use of light and shadow (chiaroscuro). These traits reflect a shift in man's view of spirituality as artists began to depict the human figure with more realism and emotion, emphasizing the individual's unique qualities. This emergence of Humanism in art focused on the importance of human experience and the potential for human achievement, moving away from the purely religious themes of the Middle Ages.
Artists from ancient Greece were the biggest influence for the Roman artists.
