In Italy, art flourished and reached its highest peak with the three unsurpassable masters Leonardo (1452 to 1519), Michelangelo (1475 to 1564) and Raphael (1483 to 1520). They have left an inestimable treasure for future generations. Once again, Florence was indeed a starting-point, but not the only scene for this development. Leonard soon left for Milan and Michelangelo and Raphael worked in Rome.
