•What does the word
Renaissance
mean?
The Renaissance Movement
This movement originated in Italy and
spanned from the 14th to the 17th century.
Renaissance means rebirth in French,
and it began in Florence, and Tuscany
and later spread to the rest of Europe.
Renaissance Art Movement
The Italian Renaissance was noted for four
things.
– A reverent revival of Classical Greek/Roman art forms and
styles
– The mastery of linear perspective (depth in a painting, and
the use of 3D)
– The naturalistic realism of its faces and figures
– Emphasis on secular objects.

Renaissance Architecture

– Symmetry (looks the same on both sides)
– Proportion

building.
• Using classical Roman and Greek
architecture for inspiration (columns,
symmetry)
