The fortune congruence of artistic genius, the spread of humanism, and economic prosperity nourished the flowering of the new artistic culture historians call the Renaissance- the rebirth of classic values in art and life. The greatest center of Renaissance art in the 15th century was Florence, home of the powerful.
Some of the earliest examples of the new Renaissance style in sculpture are the statues Nanni Di Banco and Donatello made for Or San Michele. Donatello`s Saint Mark reintroduced the classic concept of contrapposto into Renaissance statuary.
