Artwork and Artist of Renaissance

Lesson and Baroque Periods
1
Renaissance Period (1400-1600)
Renaissance was the duration of financial progress. The duration stirred enthusiasm for the study of
ancient philosophy and creative values.
Italian Renaissance commenced in the late 14th century. It used to be an era of notable artistic and
mental achievement with the start of secular art. The focal point was on sensible and humanistic art.
Renaissance artwork was once characterised via correct anatomy, scientific perspective, and deeper landscape.
Renaissance painters depicted real-life figures and their sculptures had been naturalistic pics of human beings.
Architecture for the duration of this period used to be characterised by using its symmetry and balance. As the
classical Greeks believed in the harmonious development of the individual via a sound mind, with the aid of the
practice of athletics, the Renaissance held up the best of the well-rounded man, knowledgeable in a quantity of
fields such as philosophy, science, arts, including portray and tune – and who applies his information to
productive and creative activity.
The Renaissance has impacted the world in several ways. Two of those ways are by the art
and church. They influenced the world through art by having new techniques for artistss to use to
create paintings and by having art spread from Italy to Northern Europe. Which leads to the popularity
of the movement.

In Pieta , Michelangelo approached the situation which till then had been given form normally
from north of the Alps, where the portrayal of pain had constantly been related with the concept of
redemption as represented by means of the seated Madonna preserving Christ’s body in her arms.
Michelangelo convinces himself and his spectators of the divine satisfactory and the value of
these figures by using means of earthly and ideal beauty, but of course, these are human standards.

Leonardo di ser Piero Da Vinci (1452- 1519)

Leonardo Da Vinci was a painter, architect, scientist, and mathematician. He was popularized
in existing instances via the novel and movie, “Da Vinci Code.” He is known as the remaining
“Renaissance man” due to the fact of his intellect, interest, talent and his expression of humanist and
classical values. He is extensively considered to be one of the biggest painters of all time and perhaps
the most diversely talented individual to have ever lived.His properly known works were: The Last

“Mona Lisa” stems from a description with the aid of 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 well mannered structure of address originating as Madonna- similar to Ma’am,
madamme, or My Lady in English. This grew to become Madonna and its contraction Mona. The title of
the painting, although traditionally spelled “Mona”, is also generally spelled in Modern Italian as
“Monna Lisa”.

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (Raphael) (1483-1520)

Raphael used to be an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance period. His work
was admired for its readability of structure and ease of composition and for its visible fulfillment of the
decoding the Divine and incorporating Christian doctrines. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo
da Vinci, he shaped the common trinity of superb masters of that period. His fundamental contributions

The Transfiguration was once Raphael’s remaining painting on which he labored on up to his
death. Commissioned by way of Cardinal Giulio de Medici, the late Pope Clement VII, the portray was
once 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 challenge is combined with
an additional episode from the Gospel in the decrease part of the painting.

At the time it was created, it was the first known free- standing nude statue produced since ancient
times. Renaissance art is the art of calm and beauty. Its creations are perfectthey expose nothing
compelled or inhibited, uneasy or agitated. Each form has been born easily, free and complete.
Everything breathes satisfaction, and we are honestly not fallacious in seeing in this heavenly calm
and content the very best inventive expression and spirit of that age.

Baroque Art (1600-1800)

The term Baroque was once derived from the Portuguese word “barocco” which means “irregularly
fashioned pearl or stone.” It describes a pretty complicated idiom and focuses on painting, sculpture,

as properly as architecture.
After the idealism of Renaissance, and the slightly forced nature of “mannerism”, Baroque
artwork above all displays the tensions of the age exceedingly the wish of the Catholic Church in Rome
to reassert itself in the wake of the Protestant
Reformation which is almost the identical with Catholic- Reformation Art of the period.
Although constantly in hostilities with the simple, clear, and geometric concepts of classicism,
the Baroque existed in varying levels of intensity, from a simple animated motion of strains and
surfaces, to a rich and dynamic wealth.
Baroque was once a length of creative styles in exaggerated motion, drama, tension, and
grandeur. The style started out in Rome, Italy and unfold to most of Europe.
The Roman Catholic Church incredibly encouraged the Baroque style to propagate Christianity
whilst the aristocracy used Baroque style for architecture and arts to galvanize visitors, categorical
triumph, power, and control.
Baroque painting illustrated key factors of Catholic dogma, both immediately in Biblical works or
circuitously in imaginary or symbolic work. The gestures are broader than Mannerist gestures: less
ambiguous, less arcane, and mysterious.
Baroque sculpture, normally larger than lifestyles size, is marked with the aid of a similar sense
of dynamic movement, alongside with an energetic use of space.
Baroque structure used to be designed to create spectacle and illusion. Thus the straight
strains of the Renaissance have been changed with flowing curves.

Famous Baroque Artworks and Artists

Michelangelo Merisi or Amerighi da Caravaggio (1571- 1610)

He was once higher recognised as Caravaggio. He was once an Italian artist who desired to
deviate from the classical masters of the Renaissance. He was an outcast in his society, due to the
fact of his very own actions and the lack of modesty and reverence for spiritual topics in his very own
paintings. Perhaps he began out as a professional in his paintings of nonetheless life, especially of
fruits. Studies of single figures followed, however they are clumsier than the fruit which offers their get
pleasure from of originality and charm. Caravaggio’s fashions at this period had been either himself or
young individuals who have an air of being promising but wicked. Among his famous artwork were:
Supper at Emmaus, Conversion of St. Paul, and Entombment of Christ.

birthday. Among his early works were: The Goat Amalthea with the Infant Jupiter and a Faun, Damned
Soul, and the Blessed Soul. He made a sculpture of “David” was for Cardinal Borghese which is
strikingly distinct from Michelangelo’s David because it suggests the differences between Renaissance
and the Baroque periods. He used to be the best Baroque sculptor and architect as seen in his
diagram of the Piazza San Pietro in the front of the Basilica. It is one of his most innovative and
profitable architectural designs. The well-known “Ecstasy of St. Teresa” was his best achievement and
the Colonade of the Piazza of St. Peter’s Rome.

one of the best painters and printmakers in European art. He followed no particular faith, however was
once interested in non secular values and often chooses non secular subjects. Rembrandt shares with
Rubens the revolution whereby portray came to depict the more private elements of the painter: his
very own home and his family. No artist has painted himself as often as did Rembrandt. His thought of
himself continued to deepen in grasp and subtlety, while his method grew more daring. His well-
recognized work used to be his “Self portrait in Old Age”.

Diego Velasquez (1599- 1660)

Velasquez of Spain developed out of the Baroque. He was one of the finest masters of
composition and one of the most vital painters of the Spanish Golden Age. He worked out options to
pictorial issues of layout that transcend the style of any period. Velasquez used to be the case of a
painter who observed his avocation nearly at the very start of his career. The passion for still lifestyles

frequently emerges in Velasquez’s art. His famous works were: The Surrender of Breda, Las Meninas

He created this work four years earlier than his death and served as an gorgeous example of
the European baroque length of art. Margaret Theresa, the eldest daughter of the new Queen, seems
to be the issue of Las Meninas but in searching at the a number of view points of the painting, it used
to be uncertain as to who or what was once the genuine subject; it possibly the royal daughter or the
painter himself.

Summary
The Renaissance, which took place between the 14th and 17th centuries, was a period of
cultural and artistic flourishing across Europe.
Leonardo da Vinci is probably the best-known Renaissance artist, famous for his masterworks
The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. The classic “renaissance man,” da Vinci was not only an artist
but also an inventor, scientist, architect, engineer, and more.
One of da Vinci’s contemporaries and perhaps his challenger for the title of greatest
Renaissance artist was Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. Born 13 years after da Vinci,
Michelangelo followed in his footsteps as a Renaissance man. He was an accomplished artist, poet,
architect, and engineer. His best-known work is probably the sculpture David.
Alongside da Vinci and Michelangelo, Raphael is known as the third of the great master artists
of Renaissance Italy. He was born in 1483, and his works were extremely influential even during his
lifetime. He only lived to the age of 37, but during his short life, he produced a huge number of works
including paintings, frescoes, prints, and more. One of his most famous works is The School of Athens,
shown at the top of this article.

Baroque painting is associated with the Baroque cultural movement, which began in Italy in the
17th century. It encompasses a great range of styles , as most important and major painting during the
period beginning around 1600 and continuing into the early 18th century is identified today as Baroque

painting. In its most typical manifestations, Baroque art is characterized by great drama, rich, deep
color, and intense light and dark shadows.

Some relevant artist of the time where Caravaggio (1571–1610), born and trained in Milan,
stands as one of the most original and influential contributors to late 16th century and early 17th
century European painting. He was known for painting figures, even those of classical or religious
themes, in contemporary clothing, or as ordinary men and women. Some of Caravaggio’s most famous
paintings include The Calling of St. Mathew, St. Thomas, The Conversion of St. Paul, The
Entombment, and The Crowning of the Christ.
Diego Velázquez is widely regarded as one of Spain’s most important and influential artists. He
was an individualistic artist of the contemporary Baroque period and most well-known as a portrait
artist. In addition to numerous renditions of scenes of historical and cultural significance, he painted
scores of portraits of the Spanish royal family, other notable European figures, and commoners,
culminating in the production of his masterpiece Las Meninas (1656). Velazquez’s most famous
painting, however, is the celebrated Las Meninas (1656), in which the artist includes himself as one of
the subjects. Las Meninas (Spanish for “The Ladies in Waiting”) is a painting with complex and
enigmatic composition that raises questions about reality and illusion, creating an uncertain
relationship between the viewer and the figures depicted.
Other influential Italian painters during this early period who influenced the development of
Baroque painting include Peter Paul Rubens, Giovanni Lanfranco, and Guercino. Other artists, such as
Guido Reni and Domenico Zampieri, pursued a more classical approach. Baroque painters such as
Cortona, Giovan Battista Gaulli, and Ciro Ferri continued to flourish alongside the classical trend
represented by painters such as Sacchi and Nicholas Poussin. Even a classicist painter like Sacchi’s
pupil Carlo Maratta was influenced in his use of color by the Baroque.
