Renaissance Art A Study of Art Through Examples in: The Classical Period, Medieval Period & The Renaissance Classical Period • Roman Copy of Myron’s Discobolus • It shows man throwing discus. It was probably made to celebrate the achievement of a famous athlete. The figure is presented in perfect form. His balanced pose and calm face make it look easy. The original would be cast in bronze. Medieval Art • Narthex Tympanum 1120 sculpture This sculpture was made to fit into an arching space, called a typanum, over the entrance to a church. The figure in the center is Jesus, who is sending his disciples out into the world. The most important figure in the piece is Jesus. Bodies were not important for their own sakes. He wanted to convey a religious message. Renaissance Art • The School of Athens 1510. • This was painted by Raphael in 1510 to decorate one whole wall of a room in the palace of the pope. Each figure gestures and actively moves, talking and interacting with other figures. The building shows perspective which is a trademark in Renaissance period art. Analyzing Art by Historical Period Period: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance • Madonna and Child with Two Angels • Filippo Lippi 1406. • Lippi enjoys making complicated and beautiful patterns that also look convincingly real. Notice Mary’s headdress, or the way your attention is drawn to her face by the line of hands and feet beginning with the baby’s left foot and moving up to his right hand. All this complexity is contained within a simple, smooth triangle that the whole group of figures make. The figures are presented as if they sit before a window on a broad landscape extending into the distance. Period: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance • Bathing Venus Roman Artist • This is a copy of a bronze from the Greek period. The lines made by the parts of her body all move inward, toward herself. The shapes of the sculpture are soft and round with a long, smooth line on one side and more complicated on the other. It is very geometric. Period: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance • Venus and Adonis Titian 1550 • The figures, even the dogs, all move convincingly, and the bodies and faces show us what is happening and how the characters feel. At the same time, the two ideal bodies make a beautiful and expressive pattern, almost like a pinwheel, of arms and legs. The setting is a deep landscape that’s seems full of light and air. Period: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance • Madonna and Child in Majesty Cimabue 1280 • The many delicate folds of the clothing make an elegant pattern. They are edged with gold paint, which would gleam in the dim light of the church and make the bodies look heavenly and not too rounded or real. The angels lined up around the throne and the shining background covered with gold leaf tell us that this throne is not on earth but in Heaven. Period: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance • Grave Stele of Hegeso Greek Artist • 400 BCE • This marked a grave in Greece. There is no suggestion of a background space, and the carving is not very deep. Still, the sculptor has managed to make the scene convincing and realistic-so realistic that you do not notice at first how much larger the seated lady is than the standing one. The faces are smooth and calm, and the poses are harmonious and balanced, yet, the scene has a melancholy look. Period: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance • Bayeux Tapestry 1082 • The bodies of the figures are stiff and flattened, and their faces are embroidered with simple lines that do not permit much facial expression. The gestures of the large hands are clear and easy to understand. There is no attempt to show figures in three-dimensional space. The building around Harold has just enough detail to make you think about a castle, but it does not try to describe a real castle. Period: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance • Pieta Michelangelo 1475 • Mary looks delicate and tender, but she is a huge figure with an extremely wide lap. Both she and Jesus are young and beautiful, more like an ideal man and woman than an older woman and her dead son would have really looked. This helps to emphasize their meaning as eternal religious symbols. The entire sculpture fits into a smooth, simple pyramid shape. It makes you feel that it is real and convincing.
