The wealthy in Florence fostered the Renaissance, and during the 15th and 18th centuries the work of the Florentine artists and sculptors reached a very high standard. Although Ralphacl, the distinguish- ed Italian painter, was not born in Florence, yet it was that city that developed him. Michael Angelo and Leonardo da Vinci also did great work in that city, where they beautified the churches by their paintings, etc. Their works simply amazed a visitor, and to visit Florence was certainly the life am bition of everybody.
