BREAK! (Five minutes!)

Humanism through Art: Art from the Middle Ages compared to art from the Renaissance How can art teach us history?

Madonna and Child in Glory by Jacopo di Cione (1360 -65) • Very early example of Renaissance painting – shares many characteristics of paintings from the Middle Ages • Halos around the heads (residents of heaven) • Angels around the border are smaller than the Madonna and child. This depicts Hieratic Scale – the practice of making the most important figures in a work of art larger than the less important figures.

Miraculous Mass of St. martin of Tours by Franconian School (cerca 1440) • How does the background in this painting compare to the one in the previous slide? • Very common in the Middle Ages for artists to use gold backgrounds to symbolize heaven/holy atmosphere – artists in the Renaissance were less interested in heaven and more in the world around them. • Halo? Hieratic Scale?

Madonna and Child with St. John by Giuliano Bugiardini (1523/25) • Presence of halos? • Are they different in any way from the ones in the last paintings? • Landscape? Is it heavenly? Earthly? • Renaissance interest shifted to studying natural sciences and human nature from religion – this can be seen in the painting. • Use of oil paint – invention during Renaissance – allows layers of paint to better represent light. Artists used tempera paint previous.

Adoration of the Shepherds by Giovanni Agostino da Lodi (1510) • Presence of halos? • Holy family: Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus with shepherds on each side of the painting and an angel playing a lute at the center. • Hieratic scale? • Halos?

Adoration of the Magi by The Kress Monnogrammist (1550/60) • Do the buildings in the background look true to life? • Halos? Hieratic Scale? • Landscape? • Can you easily differentiate between ordinary people and saints? • During the Renaissance artists represent ideas and interests in the culture they worked in and saints/church etc. begin to be part of everyday life. • Use of perspective – which creates the appearance of three dimensions (this was used in classical art but was abandoned later).

The Bean Eater by Annibale Carracci (1582/83) • Latest painting of the series • What is differentiates this painting from the rest? • Is the man depicted of religious nature?
