    Throughout this course the ideas of religion, shapes, mathematics, symmetry and perspective have been examined within numerous works of the Italian Renaissance and reflected upon during passionate discussions over the semester. In Heninger’s article The Semantics of Symmetry in the Art of the Renaissance he discusses many of these same ideals. The integration of these concepts within Renaissance art was a deliberate message to the viewer. Proto-renaissance works are an appropriate example of this; displaying a lack of naturalism these images focus more on the ideals than the representation of the human form. Later Renaissance works, although more naturalistic, still embody the awareness of an inner meaning but was also a ‘[…] transition period between those who sought to lead a life of the spirit [from those who sought to] lead a life of the senses, and its art reflects both attitudes’ (Heninger 306).…

    Leonardo Di Vinci was a masterful artist who observed the world around him in unique ways. Some thought him odd and eccentric, but as history proved, he was truly a genius at his craft. Motivated by his own curiosity, he studied the effects of light and reflected light the way a doctor would study medicine and it’s effect on the body. He wanted to understand how form and color changed depending on the light source – be it direct sunlight, a bright but cloudy sky, or candle.…

    There as some unique similarities in the context of each of these works, since they could all be viewed as symbols of sadness and loss. The Pietà portrays sadness in the eyes of Mary the mother of Jesus as she holds her sons limp, lifeless body after the crucifixion is that her "youth symbolizes her incorruptible purity, as Michelangelo himself said to his biographer and fellow sculptor Ascanio Condivi." (Wikipedia, 2007). The Crouching Boy is curled up, described as having a lot of tension and may be the symbol of a wounded soldier. The Monument is a tomb for the vicory of Naples, Don Pedro of Toledo, again showing the end of a person 's life as in The Pietà and therefore the loss of the leader.…

    Raphael uses many symbols in his artworks, which make many representations of his world that he lived in. Raphael consistently made biblical allusions in his artworks and had many philosophical references. In his artwork, “The School of Athens”, these themes and symbols are shown throughout. In the centre of his piece, are the two great men of Greek Philosophy, Plato and Aristotle. These men are symbols of the philosophical beliefs that they had. Pluto is pointing upwards and this is a symbol of his belief of an idealized world. This is contrasted with Aristotle’s view. Aristotle points down to the ground symbolizing the world that he inhabits. The artwork as a whole encapsulates the entire aspirations of the renaissance, in mans rational quest for truth. The size of the painting, and the complexity of the composition can be viewed as symbolic of the renaissance as a whole.…

    The Renaissance era brought forth creativity, blossoming ideas and brand new ideals. Those ideals are the values that are treasured during the Renaissance. With the artwork of many but especially in the works of Rachel, many of the Renaissance values were placed on full display in this flourishing time period. Several of those values duplicated in Raphael’s School of Athens include secularism, classicism, and humanism. Each value vary but all relate to the making of the Renaissance as it shifted from the Middle Ages.…

    The Pieta shows Mary and Jesus, but Michelangelo did not use these two characters because of their famous names. He made this sculpture to relate the effect the loss of a child has on a mother. By using these two famous individuals, the point that Michelangelo is trying to get across is very clear. People who have lost loved ones can visit the Pieta and understand that their loved one died for a reason and God has a plan. This would relieve lots of stress for the individual. No other work of art can bring these kinds of emotions. This is just one of the many reasons why the Pieta is so…

    Leonardo vs. Michelangelo

    Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simone shared many similarities. Both were painters, sculptors, and poets. They both had a tendency to leave their works incomplete. Both artists quickly surpassed the talents of their instructors and achieved fame with ease. In addition, both artists were known to have studied anatomy by dissecting human cadavers [ (Bambach, 2002) ]. Together they make up two thirds of the Renaissance’s three greatest artistic minds of all times, the other being Raphael. In this paper, I will first give a brief biography of each artist, then compare and contrast three works of art by Leonardo with three works of art by Michelangelo, followed by a discussion on how each artist made their own personal influence on the world of art in Italy and Europe during the 16th century, and provide supporting examples.…

    As I sit here organizing my thoughts on how I should put in order my thoughts for this paper, it seems quite humorous to me that I am listening to Bach and enjoying Magnificat in D Major. Being that he is what I believe, to be the greatest composer in the Baroque music period of the 17th and 18th century. Music derived from Europe but mostly Rome to be exact. Religious but chaotic. Pleasing to the ear, calming, yet highly unorganized and mind-blowing at the same time. The irony is that “The Ecstasy of St. Theresa” by Gianlorenzo Bernini, can be articulated quite the same to me. And what pulls it together is that this marble statue, was created in the Baroque period of art, in Rome, in a window in the Santa Maria church. Being a Christian girl myself, I often find myself bearing off course when it comes to my opinions of this piece. Let’s start with religion, then judgement and immorality.…

    Michelangelo. Pieta from Old Saint Peter’s, laying across the Virgin Mary. With the dead Christ in her arms, with the body of an average-sized man. Cardinal Jean Bilhères de Lagraulas’ due to his death, he was not able to see the completion of. The inventive triangular composition conveys grandeur. Mary is seated upon the Rock of Golgotha, which had supported Christ on the cross. She is extensively draped in clothing and her body is large. He’s body looks like its falling off of the lap of Mary. Instead of Christ’s body showing deformation from hanging on the cross. On this statue hands are very expressive, with her right hand holding and cradling Christ, while her left hand is extended. One of the most famous works of art, the Pieta was probably finished before Michelangelo was 25 years old. (michelangelo.com)…

    I have chosen to write about one of the most significant figures in art, Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo Da Vinci was born on 15 april in 1452 in Vinci, Tuscany, Italy. Leonardo's full name was Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci, which means "Leonardo, Piero's son, from Vinci", the name he wore because he was born a bastard. Leonardo showed as a young man, talent for many aesthetic areas, for example. Sing, read poetry and play the lute. But he showed an even greater talent for painting and was hence in 1470 apprenticed to the leading Florentine painter, Andrea del Verocchio. Doctrine lasted two years and after that he chose to work as an apprentice to Andrea in a decade. After his time as apprentice to Andrea, he was given the chance to move to Milan to work for the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza. Since he was gifted in so many areas, he then many jobs, he worked as a court painter, sculptor, architect and engineer of Ludovico's army. During his time with Ludovico so he painted the famous painting, The Last Supper in 1498, the picture depicts Christ and his disciples at a dining table. After 17 years in the service of the Duke of Milan, he was forced to flee, when the French army occupied Milan and Sforza family's rule was overthrown. Leonardo then went to Mantua, and in turn to the water-located city of Venice, where his knowledge of the army engineering was taken advantage of and worked as an army engineer for a year until he went to Florence. Two years after his arrival in Florence united himself with Cesare Borgia, and went on his campaign, but then returned to Florence after Borgia's defeat. He then stayed in Florence in 1508, where he painted his, probably the most famous painting, the Mona Lisa. Leonardo was revoked then back to Milan the city now French governor, Charles d'Amboise. Leonardo worked in Milan with scientific studies and plans for the construction of a canal. In 1513 Leonardo went, accompanied by his pupil Francesco Melzi, the Vatican in order to win…

    Michelangelo’s Pieta is a marble, Renaissance sculpture of the Virgin Mary cradling her dead son, the body of Christ. The intricate details of the marble Virgin Mary and the dead body of Christ, though an image of death, are brought to life by hammer and chisel. Through sculpture, viewers can experience emotionalism and spiritualism which in Pieta is expressed within the folds of the Virgin Mary’s robe.…

    Louis Daguerre was the inventor of the first practical process of photography. In 1829, he formed a partnership with Joseph to improve the process Niepce had developed. In 1839 after several years of experimentation and Niepce’s death Daguerre developed a more convenient and effective method of photography, naming it after himself – The Daguerreotype. Daguerre’s process fixed the images onto a sheet of silver plated copper. He polished the silver and coated it in iodine, creating a surface that was sensitive to light. He then put the plate in a camera and exposed it for a few minutes. After the image was painted by light, Daguerre bathed the plate in a solution of silver chloride. This process created a lasting image, one that would not change if…
