A very interesting question, and an important one. The negritude movement came about as a result of negritude writers meeting black American intellectuals in Paris, the black American writers including langston Hughes, Claude McKay and Countee Cullen. These intellectuals found what they considered to be a common ground in the black experience, and the negritude movement was born. So to answer the question, first of all, the Harlem Renaissance preceded negritude. The negritude writers Cesaire, Senghor and Damas were inspired by the black American art movement. The Harlem Renaissance was set into motion by the concept of The New Negro. It must also be noted that there were several important women, the Nardal sisters, who actually introduced the black American art to Cesaire and the others. The Nardal sisters are not given their due, but they are the ones greatly responsible for the negritude movement. Hope this helps.

The early Italian Renaissance artist, Donatello, contributed greatly to sculpture and studies on Italian culture through the centuries. His statue of David, one of the world's most notable statues, was unique in that it marked a resurgence in independently standing nude portraiture. Because of his choice of subject matter and his realistic style, sculptors and artists find inspiration in his work today.
