Answer - D - Rome became the center for High Renaissance culture in the late 15^th and early 16^th centuries.

Key Takeaway: The High Renaissance refers to the culmination of the art of the Italian Renaissance between 1450 and 1527. It is generally agreed that the High Renaissance emerged in the late 1490s, when Leonardo da Vinci finished painting his Last Supper. In addition, the Vatican paintings by Michelangelo and Raphael also represent the High Renaissance style of painting. Because Pope Julius II patronized many artists during this time, the movement was centered in Rome. Culture during the Renaissance had previously been centered in Florence.
