He started out mainly working in chiaroscuro, but his style continued to evolve throughout his life, as did the rest of art and expression in Europe. After completing just a few frescoes, he became very popular and was often asked to paint more in Italy, and later, other countries in Europe. He worked late into his life and continued to be influenced by other artists, many of whom were his friends.

Good work, Ada. 2 things: 1) Use "AWARENESS" as the first part of your heading ( you can keep or delete Meet the Old Master). You will use "AWARENESS" for all posts relate to the research into artists/art history. 2) Are your "helpful resources" the ones that the reader should dig into? Or are those your sources? The reader needs to know if they are responsible for accessing those resources in order to answer the questions (they should be links if so). Clarify that and you are good to go!... just for the future, you may want to play around with ways for format the images so that they use the space more effectively.
