Overview of the events of the 1490s in art
The decade of the 1490s in art involved some significant events.
The
Renaissance is in full swing during the 1490s, and
Leonardo da Vinci is painting in realistic,
chiaroscuro style. In music, many new musical styles are being created, including the
motet and
madrigal, replacing an emphasis on
chanting (and simple melodies) with
polyphony and
homophony.
Christopher Columbus's explorations of the
New World captivates the artistic imagination of both artists and the public.
