Renaissance
The Roman figure who most influenced Italian art of the Renaissance was undoubtedly Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, an architect and engineer. His work, "De Architectura," emphasized the importance of proportion, symmetry, and the human form, which inspired Renaissance artists to explore classical ideals. Additionally, the revival of classical themes and techniques in painting and sculpture during this period can be traced back to the principles outlined by Vitruvius, leading to a harmonious blend of art and science in Renaissance works.
