Renaissance paintings often involve spiritual, religious, or mythological subject matter. In paintings portraying women, they are commonly found lying in a pudica gesture: where the women are completely nude, yet covering themselves in a subtle manner. In addition, painters' techniques involve high concentrations of chiaroscuro, where there are intense highlights and shadows in a soft combination.
