RENAISSANCE ART
RENAISSANCE ART
• Artists gained prestige, no longer anonymous
 became celebrities
• Patrons (“mecenas”), financed & protected
artists. Patrons commissioned artwork and
decided the themes.
– Kings & Popes
– Medici Family in Florence were the most famous
and wealthy patrons of the Renaissance.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
RENAISSANCE ART
a) Classicism
b) Emphasis on human figure
c) Realism & expression
d) Perspective
e) Light & shade
Classicism
• Artists, architects and sculptors studied the
art of Ancient Greece and Rome and
incorporated elements of these civilizations:
– Mythological themes
– Idealized beauty (proportion)
– Classical architectural elements (columns,
semicircular arches,…) & techniques (symmetry,
proportion, simplicity…). Abandon of complex
aspects of Gothic art.
“The Birth of Venus” (Botticelli)
“The School of Athens” (Raphael)
Greek VS Renaissance
“Venus de Milo” “David” (Michelangelo)
San Andres’ Basilica
(Alberti)
Greek/Roman VS Renaissance
“Villa Capra” or “Villa la Rotonda”
(Palladio)
Emphasis on human figure
• The human figure became very important.
Artists rediscovered the beauty of nature & the
human body, expressing the optimism of this
new age.
• As in classical art, beauty is achieved by
proportion & symmetry.
• Less modest depiction of the human
figure than during the church-
dominated Medieval period….
Naked bodies!!
“Vitruvian Man” or “The canon of proportions”
(Leonardo da Vinci)
It’s a drawing accompanied by notes
based on the work of the Roman
architect Vitruvius.
It depicts the ideal human
proportions described by Vitruvius
in his treatise “De Architectura”.
Vitruvius described the human
figure as being the principal source
of proportion. Vitruvius determined
that the ideal body should be eight
heads high.
“Sistine Chapel”
(Michelangelo)
Realism & expression
• One of the big changes in art was to paint and
sculpt subjects realistically. This is called
realism and involves a number of techniques
that make the subjects and background look
like they would in real life.
• This also meant giving the subjects more
emotional qualities; more expression.
“David” (Bernini)
Gothic VS Renaissance
Madonna and Child with Angels
Playing Music (Pere Serra)
“Madonna and Child”
(Raphael)
Perspective
• Perspective is drawing or painting a picture
such that it looks like there are three
dimensions.
• It gives the illusion that some objects in the
painting are further away than others.
“The Last Supper” (Leonardo da Vinci)
“The School of Athens” (Raphael)
“Lamentation of Christ” (Mantegna)
Sfumato technique
“Monna Lisa” or “La Gioconda” (Leonardo da Vinci)
Light & shade
• Renaissance painters used light and shade to:
– Add perspective & make it more realistic. Help
viewers picture the shape of objects and to
imagine what the objects feel like.
– Depict emotions (cheerfulness of a bright day,
darkness of a sad day…)
• Some artists used strong contrasts of light &
shade. That technique is called “chiaroscuro”.
However, it will reach its peak in the Baroque.
“The School of Athens” (Raphael)
Chiaroscuro technique
“St. John the Baptist” (Leonardo da Vinci)
Time to use your brains…!!
• In your notebooks:
–Tell if the image is
“Renaissance”
–Explain using the
characteristics of
Renaissance Art.
“Venus and Mars”
“Diana & Acteon”
