Furesco Painting And Its Impact Throughout The 14th Century

There are many different unique types of art that can all have a unique story to tell. In Meta Warrick Fuller’s painting called Talking Skulls. This image creates a vivid image of black women struggling to make any money at all and are in the worst of all jobs. This relates to the spark of the creation of the renaissance because it showed the struggle that black women had to overcome when living in the southern and they wanted a new life. But not just women had a struggle economically, even men did too.

Therefore, Cathedrals were endowed with stone and glass art that displayed the major teachings and ideas of the church. No matter how much education, amount of money, or ability to understand language, the visual teachings were applicable and comprehensible to all. This art was not only able to teach of Christianity, but was also able to evoke good and bad feelings inside those who viewed the images. Without visual representations, there would have been thousands of people who would not have come to the Lord. The message of Christ would not have spread since it was not being taught in way that was universally understandable.

One way paintings demonstrate this is the difference between the Mona Lisa and Madonna Enthroned Between Two Angels. The older painting, Madonna Enthroned Between Two Angles, is unrealistic and has rather depressing dark colors. While the Renaissance painting, the Mona Lisa, is not only much more realistic, but also a lot more cheerful, brighter feel, and became a true masterpiece (Doc A). In the paintings, the fact the Renaissance painting is brighter, more realistic and a famous masterpiece, shows that the Renaissance changed the art style into a unique, amazing representation that changed the entire future of art. The paintings from the Renaissance showed that people saw each other differently than before( Doc A).

Religion. Most, if not all art from that time had to do with God. There was either a hidden meaning about God, or the focus was just there. But during the Renaissance, all that changed. People began to view art in different ways.

Art is not nearly as well rounded nowadays as it was in the renaissance. For example the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da vinci was an exceptional painting that had tons of detail such as the the ripples in her sleeves and the curls in her hair( doc. a). This painting shows that this was a happy point in time because she is smiling in the portrait(doc. a).

In the time of the Middle Ages, they focused on the religious value of art, “The [clearest] evidence of the break with medieval culture comes from the visual arts.” (DocA) a popular painting of this time by Duccio Di Bouninsegna’s shows The Mother Mary with the baby Jesus on her lap. This painting was two-dimensional and had very little creativity, the painting mostly didn’t make people feel anything only had religious value. While during the Renaissance they focused on making you feel stronger feelings “[It] was the essence of the Renaissance .... One begins to know the names of the artists ... feel stronger emotions in the subjects ... ... see well-defined landscapes, natural folds in drapery, and three-dimensional figures” (Doc A).

While both the Northern Renaissance style painting by Jan van Eyck, titled The Arnolfini Portrait, and the Baroque style painting, by Johannes Vermeer, titled Woman Holding a Balance, indeed share some similarities, like painting for wealthy merchants and not just the church or royalty, there are some noted variations in the type of form used, between the different paintings. Eyck uses lines that are solid, bold, clearly defining each element and miniscule detail of the painting. The Northern Renaissance was well known for its attention to fine details, and Eyck does a great job of displaying this with The Arnolfini Portrait. In addition, the colors used for this portrait are bold and intense. The Renaissance period is also known for being

A new system of astronomy and the discovery and exploration of new continents was accompanied by a flowering of philosophy, literature and especially art. Painting was very important in this time period. In (Document 2) its says we want a divinci painting, they wanted it in color, and they also said paint them as young Jesus. Renaissance painters was more realistic.

As expressed in Document A, from Theodore Rabb’s Basic Books, The Last Days of the Renaissance & The March to Modernity, “The clearest evidence of the break with medieval culture comes from the visual arts”. The Middle Ages had an emphasis on religious figures and symbolism. The two images contained Document A included: Madonna Enthroned Between two Angels by Duccio di Buonisegna from the late 13th century as well as Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, from the early 16th century; upon further observation the conclusion can be made that not only was the art from the Middle Ages focused mostly on religious subject, but it also had two-dimensional lifeless figures and drab colors, as expressed in the painting. This great contrast is clear because the Renaissance painting is the complete opposite, possessing realistic figures which were true to form and three dimensional, vibrant landscapes, with a focus on the individual. As Rabb put it, “the new artistic styles would echo broader movements and interests of the new age.”

“For centuries the Church held the belief that they could only provide the information. This information was all a monopoly in the murals, stained glass, and decorated paraphernalia of shrines and altars. The educational activities of the clergy thought there was an awesome

The Meeting of Joachim and Anna vs. The Annunciation While studying Renaissance art, particularly Italian art spanning from the 14th century through the 16th century, many similarities can be noted throughout paintings by various artists, yet major differences and variances can also be detected when it comes to the style that each artist chose to pursue. Each painting holds its own importance and displays its own outstanding aspects that make it great regardless of style. In Giotto di Bondone’s painting of The Meeting of Joachim and Anna from the Arena Chapel in Padua, Italy, the technique known as fresco was used. This type of painting technique uses colors that are applied to fresh plaster. Once these colors set and dry, the painting then becomes a

In the Metropolitan Shrine’s case, “the narrative fluidity of the scenes, which oscillate between the days of Christ’s Infancy and the moment of his birth, and the cyclical nature of Christ’s sacrifice and the moment of his death on the cross allow for different visual and devotional possibilities.” The viewer has the ability to choose his or her own path to follow; the viewer has the ability to take a mental journey with Christ away from the earthly realm; the viewer has the ability to find ultimate salvation with Christ and God the Father within the heart of the Virgin Mary. The viewer becomes a dynamic partaker in the passages set out before his or her
