the outstanding city of the Italian renaissance was?

Answer 1

Florence due to the power of the Medici family who were great patrons of the arts which allowed great and innovative art to grow and flourish.

"Medici was the name of a great ruling family of Florence. Lorenzo, the Magnificent, was the most famous Medici.
Lorenzo was the son of Pietro I Medici and grandson of Cosimo de' Medici. He succeeded as head of the family upon the death of his father in 1469, and was an able if autocratic ruler, who made Florence the most powerful state in Italy and led it to its highest flowering. Many Renaissance artists worked at his court, including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo."

Florentine artists pioneered painting in perspective and building with domes as in the Church of St. Maria del Fiore by Brunelleschi who "was the first architect to employ mathematical perspective to redefine Gothic and Romanesque space and to establish new rules of proportioning and symmetry." Ghiberti's innovative bas relief panels, in perspective, for the Baptistry doors were named "The Gates of Paradise" by Michelangelo.

Florentine art and innovation influenced the art of other Italian cities and of other countries.
