How does Baxandall indicate the production of painting changed as the Renaissance developed? How did the conception of the artist evolve during the period of the Renaissance?
Baxandall describes the fifteenth century as a century where clients would order what they needed instead of purchasing the already made products (Michael 2). He continues to describe how this affected the production of painting. The less known or recognized artist would have to produce readymade arts in order to attract clients. However, the already established artists would wait for clients to make the specific orders that they required. Baxandall argues that the production of painting was hence influenced by the clients taste and preferences or their cultural and social values. Beforehand, paintings and art was treated as an independent entity affected by the changes in laws and development. However, this perception changed as Baxandall explains (Michael 4). People started to view art and paintings from a different angle. They started to recognize or appreciate the time invested by the artist in a particular painting, the feelings and mood during the production of the paintings and the inspiration that led to the discovery of the paintings. Therefore, the success of a painting depended on the mental abilities of an individual painter or artist. During the period of renaissance, oil painting was discovered. Art used to be simple but later art was developed and seemed likes miracles. Artists began painting pictures that seemed life like and which seemed as if they were in three dimensions. The Catholic Church was the main client of the paintings. The paintings were made from those of Virgin Mary to those of the last supper. The freedom from church led to a rebirth of painting. These paintings included naked women and men.
What is the template for the biography of a “master” like Michelangelo or Leonardo? How are their biographies presented
