Artists michaelangelo, raphael, and leonardo da vinci belong to which period of the renaissance?

High Renaissance

Explanation:

    While the Renaissance  is a term commonly used to identify a broad cultural movement that hit Western Europe between the 14th and 16th centuries, the High Renaissance period is more restricted, usually encompassing only the last years of the fifteenth century and the first three decades of the sixteenth century.

    The initial milestone of the High Renaissance is usually the same as the beginning of the height of the Italian artistic renaissance, that is, the process of elaborating one of the main frescoes in art history: Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper.

   In fact, it is the artistic achievements of the early 16th century by the contemporary Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo that are at the center of the High Renaissance, and the paintings of the latter two are seen as the culmination of the period due to their complexity. In this sense, Michelangelo excelled in his marble work and in the dramaticness he emphasized in his works through elongated proportions and exaggerated positions, while Raphael, who had popes as patrons, so well stressed Christian and humanist ideals in his works through of its composition and perspective that would still be called during its lifetime as "divine". Among the most famous works are Michelangelo's sculptures Moses and David, and Raphael's School of Athens and Transfiguration.
