Renaissance art used new strategies that influenced all of the artists and their admirers. Because it achieved its acceptance, so did the strategies of foreshortening, sfumato, and chiaroscuro. Foreshortening would be the method of decreasing outlines to help you create an illusion regarding depth in a painting. The sfumato technique may be the blurring or softening with the razor-sharp traces on the edges of the portrait. Chiaroscuro could be the strategy of implementing a solid distinction between light shades and darker shades. Each of the methods enable for the painting to try to get a a lot more authentic appearance.

Many people recognize of the popular Renaissance artists including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, however one with the most favorite pieces ended up being made by way of a less identified name, Jan van Eyck. Eyck made the particular oil painting "The Arnolfini Portrait" in 1434. This picture is assumed turn out to be of Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his beautiful wife.

Baroque Art

Baroque art in their broader artistic manifestations is a complex social, political and religious.

Baroque is the sequel to the prevailing Italian Mannerism in the first half of the sixteenth century. If Mannerism begins to use the classic standards with artificiality, Baroque happens leaves the classic serenity to express a world in motion and stirring of the senses. Therefore, the tendency of this period is to exaggeration and display.

Origin of Baroque Art

It is said that the Baroque art is the art of the Counter Reformation. To react against the severity and iconoclasm of Protestantism, the Catholic Church encouraged the building of temples with a profusion of sculpture.

He also led the artists to stay away from pagan themes that were so popular during the Renaissance, and avoid nudity and outrageous scenes.

Both in the visual arts as in music, the influence of the Church on the artists was addressed to excite and inflame the devotion by psychological stimuli.

These rules apparently conservative and austere derived, however, in this sumptuous and ornate art we call Baroque.

Social and psychological causes

The seventeenth century was a time of war and violence as in few phases of European history. Life was frequently tormented in pain and death. So also was more necessary than ever the exaltation of the hectic and intense for the baroque man.

In this context, the thrust of love experienced the passions of life and movement and color, as if a grand theater in question. In fact, rightly noted that in the visual arts, baroque attempts to replicate the excitement and brilliance of the theater.

As a dramatic representation is supported by a colorful decor and ephemeral, baroque architecture is subordinated to the decor, which has to be spectacular.

Another characteristic of the baroque manifested in architecture, sculpture and painting is the play of shadows. In Baroque aesthetics are very important violent chiaroscuro contrasts. This is easily noticeable in the painting (eg tenebrism) but also in architecture, where the Baroque architect plays with volumes abruptly with numerous protrusions to cause charged play of light and shadow.

Perugino for the artistic creation of his works came to divide the project until its completion in phases working reasonably and Rafael employ the technique to carry out their work from now on, would be to prepare a table by the previous outline composition, using the drawing as models to study the details and presentation boards modelli or being the last step the original size cardboard and its application to wood or canvas wall.

In his early works at the moment Rafael match the style of his master Perugino, but later made his knowledge of other artists, but taking them even further, making it better.

Welcomes the first works about the age of 16 or 17 years from Città di Castello, one of these was a "Flag Procession" with the Holy Trinity in one side and the Creation of Eve in the other to 1499 - 1500.

Rafael also performs an altarpiece and signed contract now as Master for S. Agostino's "Blessed Nicholas of Tolentino" in 1500-1501, for the same city also made the Marriage of the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph called "Sposalizio" (1504) yet similar in style to his master Perugino, but marking an interest by the scope of the new trend, especially for the architecture of Bramante. Perugino in 1499 had received this order, paint-on "Sposalizio" - the same altarpiece for the Chapel of Our Lady of Perugia and is believed then that Perugino himself-a fact that was not checked, you also asked Raphael to make a copy, in which he maintained the symmetrical composition and looks distressed by Perugino, but the figures in the painting seem to cluster more relaxed and stressed the magnificence of Solomon's Temple Rafael you make here.

"The Wheel of Oddi Altar" is a portrait and Raphael first in importance, made around 1504 was donated by Leandra Oddi family chapel located to the Franciscan church in Perugia. The theme of the composition would be the Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin. In this work it is demonstrated that Rafael is an artist's perspective learned from Piero della Francesca, in addition to his talent for making the invisible visible, the miracle-the work has manifested the upper two levels and the ground.

Along with the retablos paint small pictures for private use as the "St. George" (1504-1505) commissioned by the Duke Guidobaldo of Montefeltro and others as "The Knight's Dream" and "The Three Graces" also painted in 1504.

In the same year Raphael moved to the city of Florence Italy where learning takes from here on endless way. Reach success while technically perfected, had 20 years of age.

Sandro Botticelli (Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi)
Nationality: Italy
1445-1510
Style: Renaissance Italiano.Quattrocento

Sandro Botticelli grew up in the neighborhood of medieval Dominican convent of Santa Maria Novella where he observed one of the first works of the Florentine Renaissance painting the fresco of the Trinity by Masaccio in Santa Maria Novella, completed in 1427, the first work to apply the laws of central perspective, the lines of the work that converge at a single point, bring a new and unified open space in which the figures are arranged accordingly. People are characterized by a realistic embodiment reveal the growing interest in presenting the human figure emerge again at the time. With its great figures, Masaccio departs from the ideal of late Gothic painting prevailing, and seeks its models in the paintings of Giotto, made one hundred years earlier, his work represents the beginning of the Quattrocento Florentine painting, culminating in Botticelli and his contemporaries, two generations later, in the transition from the sixteenth century.

Botticelli is open to reveal the achievements of the Renaissance, introduced by Masaccio and the late Gothic tendencies (which enhanced the beauty and elegance line of gentle movements of the figures) use the rules of central perspective and studied the sculptures of the Age, whose ideal of the human body is evident primarily in his nudes, and also reveals the grace and elegance of his figures, his approach to the late Gothic style.

Botticelli's paintings have philosophical content, political and religious away some mythological scenes and figures cheerful. His paintings allow a glimpse of the Florentine culture and politics in the second half of the fifteenth century.

It is one of the great figures of the Renaissance for its delicate color and exceptional drawing.
Botticelli began in the art of jewelry displaying their ability to design decorative shapes.

By 1461-1462 at age 17 he entered the workshop of Fra Filippo Lippi in Prato that instruction lasted about five years where he learned composition, manufacture and preparation of paints, grinding stones and aunándolas with the right mixture of binders, assimilated techniques of fresco and painting on the table. With the drawing should be provided for painting.

One of his first works in the last years of his apprenticeship is "Epiphany" made around 1465-1467 indicates the format to be used as an ornament of furniture, still shows flaws in the relationship especially composition and distribution of the figures at the beginning of his career.

By 1465 Botticelli makes his first works highlighting the Madonnas with children still show the close relationship with his master Filippo Lippi as the "Virgin and Child with an Angel" (1465-1467) in Florence, "Madonna and Child with two angels and San Juan Bautista young "(1465-1470) and another also called" Virgin and Child with an Angel "(1465-1467) in Ajaccio.

Baroque art

Baroque art is an elaborate, exaggerated and detailed form of art that began during the seventeenth century in Rome, Italy. With the approval of the Roman Catholic this style quickly spread in popularity throughout Europe. Each region in Europe developed its own unique variations of this art style. This results in artwork from this time period being available from France, Germany, Spain, Poland, England, Denmark, Russia and various other regions of Europe.

The opulent details of this form of art create tension and drama for the viewer. The rich colors and movement of this style appeal to the senses. Sculpture is of particular importance in this style of art. The sculptures have multiple figures suggesting energy and movement and can usually be viewed from several angles.

Paintings from this time period typically have a religious theme. However artists also began to have everyday themes in their art. Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, and Caravaggio were prolific painters at this time. Lighting, lines, and realism were used to convey emotion and movement.

Architecture and furniture also were created in a baroque style of exuberance and detail beyond functionality. Furniture was larger, richly painted and detailed with carvings in elaborate designs. Often the furniture has additional elements such as metal, horn and veneer. Gilting in gold paint was highly popular on the wood surfaces of furniture and buildings. The furniture was upholstered in intensely colored baroque style tapestry fabric. In modern homes baroque art is used to create a dramatic and unique design.

Renaissance Art

Renaissance art first emerged in about 1400 in Italy. By 1500, the movement had spread throughout Europe and reached the height of its popularity under the influence of religion and humanist philosophy. Many pieces included themes of religion, saints, altarpieces, mythology, and history.

Renaissance art used new techniques that affected both the artists and their admirers. As it reached its popularity, so did the techniques of foreshortening, sfumato, and chiaroscuro. Foreshortening is the process of shortening lines to help create an illusion of depth in a painting. The sfumato technique is the blurring or softening of the sharp lines on the edges of a portrait. Chiaroscuro is the technique of using a strong contrast between light colors and dark colors. Each of these techniques allow for a painting to take on a more realistic look.

Many people know of the popular Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, but one of the most popular pieces was created by a lesser known name, Jan van Eyck. Eyck created the oil painting "The Arnolfini Portrait" in 1434. The portrait is believed to be of Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife. It is one of the most complex paintings of the period.

Although art has evolved over the years, Renaissance art is still one of the most recognizable types of art. Today art enthusiasts can find large collections in galleries such as the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and the National Gallery in London.
