 What’s New & What is It

Renaissance Period (1400-1600)

Renaissance was the period of economic progress. The period stirred
enthusiasm for the study of ancient philosophy and artistic values.

Italian Renaissance began in the late 14th century. It was an era of great
artistic and intellectual achievement with the birth of secular art. The focus
was on realistic and humanistic art.

Renaissance art was characterized by accurate anatomy, scientific

perspective, and deeper landscape.

Renaissance painters depicted real-life figures and their sculptures were

naturalistic portraits of human beings.

Architecture during this period was characterized by its symmetry and

balance.

Classical Greeks believed in the harmonious development of the person

through a sound mind and the practice of athletics. The Renaissance held up
the ideal of the well-rounded person, knowledgeable in a number of fields
such as philosophy, science, arts, including painting and music – and who
applies his/her knowledge to productive and creative activity.

The Renaissance was a period of artistic experimentation. It brought people

into a full view just like the human figures in Greek Art.

Renaissance art marked the transition of Europe from the Medieval Period to
the Early Modern Age. In many parts of Europe, Early Renaissance art was
created in parallel with Late Medieval art. By 1500, the Renaissance style
prevailed.

The greatest cathedral building of the age was the rebuilding of St. Peter’s
Basilica in Rome.

Things to ponder:

1. What does Renaissance mean?

2. What period did the Renaissance take place?
3. What are the characteristics of Renaissance art?

 What’s New & What is It

https://www.artbible.info/art/large/447.html

In Pieta , Michelangelo approached the subject which until then had been
given form mostly from north of the Alps, where the portrayal of pain had
always been connected with the idea of redemption as represented by the
seated Madonna holding Christ’s body in her arms. Michelangelo convinces
himself and his spectators of the divine quality and the significance of these
figures by means of earthly and perfect beauty, but of course, these are
human standards.

“Mona Lisa” stems from a description by

Renaissance art historian Giorgio Vasari, who
wrote, “Leonardo undertook to paint for
Francesco del Giocondo the portrait of Mona
Lisa, his wife.” Mona, in Italian, is a polite
form of address originating as Madonna-
similar to Ma’am, madamme, or My Lady in
English. This became Madonna and its
contraction Mona. The title of the painting,
though traditionally spelled “Mona”, is also
commonly spelled in Modern Italian as “Monna
Lisa”.

The Transfiguration was Raphael’s last painting which he worked on up to

his death. Commissioned by Cardinal Giulio de Medici, the late Pope Clement
VII, the painting was conceived as an altarpiece for the Narbonne Cathedral
in France. The painting exemplifies Raphael’s development as an artist and
the culmination of his career. The subject was combined with an additional
episode from the Gospel in the lower part of the painting.

Donatello's bronze statue of David (circa 1440s) is

famous as the first unsupported standing work
of bronze cast during the Renaissance, and the first
freestanding nude male sculpture made since
antiquity. It depicts David with an enigmatic smile,
posed with his foot on Goliath's severed head just
after defeating the giant. The youth is completely
naked, apart from a laurel-topped hat and boots, and
bears the sword of Goliath.
