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.
The decade of the 1480s in art involved some significant events. 1481 – A group of Florentine painters – Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Rosselli – begins work on mural frescos in the Sistine Chapel, Rome, with (perhaps under the direction of) Pietro Perugino. 1482 – Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, commissions Leonardo da Vinci to make an equestrian statue that would have been the largest in the world. A clay cast is made over sixteen years but the bronze is appropriated for use in cannons and the cast is destroyed when the Duke's castle falls to French invaders.
