Machiavelli and Three Renaissance Artists

Machiavelli, an important figure in the Renaissance, loved the Roman ethic over his present-day ethic.  He wrote a book, The Prince, about how the society should use the concepts of the medieval works in politics and that princes, in his time, should be more like the princes in the ancient world.  The Renaissance marked a new beginning for art work.  Paintings and other works of art became more realistic.  Ghiberti, Masaccio, and Correggio were three spectacular artists during the time of the Renaissance.
