Renaissance Art!
10
What were the unique characteristics of
Renaissance art?
  • Artists often portrayed religious subjects, but
    they used a realistic style
  • Art had more secular, or worldly, overtones
  • Artists used perspective, which shows three
    dimensions on a flat surface

11
Sculpture
  • Donatello
  • Made sculpture more realistic by carving natural
    postures and expressions that reveal personality
  • David was first large, free-standing nude statue
    of the Renaissance (late 1460s)

12
Leonardo da Vinci
  • Da Vinci lived and worked from
  • 1452-1519.
  • He is identified as the Renaissance
  • Man or known for being an expert in
  • all subjects including painting, sculpture,
    architecture, engineering, military science,
    botany, anatomy, geology, aerodynamics, and
    optics.
  • He left behind 10,000 pages of drawings, ideas,
    sketches and notes.
  • He is famous for writing left-handed, in reverse,
    or mirrored images.
  • However, he only left about a dozen paintings.

13
The Last Supper
  • (1495-1498) was painted on a wall in the dining
    hall of the monastery in Santa Maria della Grazie
    in Milan.
  • The wall mural is over 15x28 feet.
  • Christ and His disciples are seated at a table
    celebrating Passover.
  • Christ announces One of you will betray me and
    sends everyone into shock.

14
  • Order of disciples left to right-
  • Bartholomew, James, Andrew, Judas, Peter, John,
    Thomas, James, Phillip, Matthew, Jude, Simon.
  • Since Judas is the one who betrays Jesus, he is
    shown in shadow. He also is the only one featured
    with his elbow on the table which displays bad
    manners.

15
  • The painting
  • contains several
  • references to the number 3, which may be an
    allusion to the Holy Trinity. The Apostles are
    seated in groupings of three there are three
    windows behind Jesus and the shape of Jesus'
    figure resembles a triangle. There may have been
    many other references that have since been lost
    to the painting's deterioration.

16
The Mona Lisa
  • (1503-1506 The Louvre, Paris) is the
  • worlds most famous portrait.
  • Her identity is said to have the wife of a
    prominent Florentine merchant.

17
  • The painting is called enigmatic or puzzling
    and mysterious because she has a gentle smile yet
    her eyes lack the same warmth.
  • She has plucked eyebrows and eyelashes and a
    shaved hairline which was popular at that time.
    This adds to the unsettling feeling she gives.
  • Her direct stare at the viewer which contrasts
    the serenity of the background also causes
    allure.
  • She is considered an ideal woman.
  • This small work (30x21) is said to have been
    Leonardos favorite because he carried it around
    with him until he died.

18

  • He was a painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and
    engineer.

19
The Pieta
  • carved in1498 out of a single block of marble.
  • However, the figures are out of proportion.

20
  • Mary is overly large compared to
  • Christ.
  • Mary is depicted youthful and peaceful,
  • not heartbroken.
  • Since its completion, the Pieta has sustained
    some damage.
  • During a move in the 18th century, Mary lost four
    fingers that were later restored.
  • Then in 1972, and mentally ill man walked into
    the chapel and attacked Mary with a hammer while
    screaming I am Jesus Christ.

    behind bullet proof glass.

    smaller Old Testament scenes as well as 400 other
    figures that fill the space.

    the best know being The Creation of Adam.
  • To paint the large Last Judgment scene
    Michelangelo had to climb 6 or 7 levels of
    scaffolding every day.
  • He once fell and badly injured one leg.

  • Contrary to popular belief, he painted the whole
    thing standingnot lying on his back.
  • Burning candles and oil lamps created soot that
    darkened the images.
  • Attempts to fix the damage simply made it worse.
  • However, in 1979 restorers were able to clean the
    paintings appropriately over the course of 10
    years.
  • The room is now monitored for temperature and
    moisture control as well as filters that clean
    the air.
