Art History Part 2: Renaissance
Renaissance Art • The Renaissance was roughly between 1400 A. D. to 1600 A. D. It began in the city states of Italy. The Renaissance means "rebirth" in French. • This art reflected back to the classical time of Rome and Greece.
Renaissance, 2 • Man began to explore himself and the world around him. Religion was still important, but man began to think for himself and about himself. • One of the major influences in the Renaissance was the change in the social structure of Europe with the rise and development of a new merchant class. • These wealthy merchants would often hire artists to decorate family chapels in the local church or cathedral.
Renaissance, 3 • In the Renaissance, we see the first oil painting on canvas. • It was also a time where the paintings took on three dimensions by the use of shadow and light. The subject matter included mythical subjects and nature scenes.
Renaissance, 4 • Artists tried to show differences in proportions (meaning size and location of one thing compared to another in the painting) of their subject matter. • Leonardo Da. Vinici painted the Mona Lisa during this time and became known as the Renaissance man.
Renaissance, 5 • Michelangelo took over four years to paint more than 6000 square feet of the Sistine Chapel with scenes from the Old Testament Bible.
