Gozolli created many masterpieces that were an impact on the Renaissance
because they were very different from all the other artists in his day and
still are very different. He was a very different artist during the
Renaissance. He had mentors who taught him heaps of stuff but then he went on
his own way and created his own special way to express himself in a way no one
else could and this was very big in his day.

They have all shown us that art can be anything. From just something simple to
something distort and creative. He spent his whole life doing something he
loved and it surely paid off.
