Bell RingerBell RingerTell me about these paintings. Can you find
similarities and/or differences?
Medieval Art (things to Medieval Art (things to notice)notice) Look at the people, they all
look the same. Close to stick figures.
Their faces are all the same. The depth perception, there is
none. Some of the people and objects look like the are floating.
Linear Perspective, Focus point or vanishing point, there is none. It looks like a bunch of randomly placed objects.
Religion, most medieval art has some sort of religious aspect to it.
The artists normally sign their work to know who’s work it is. In this painting we do not find this.
Renaissance Art (things to notice)Renaissance Art (things to notice)
-Notice the people and their faces, they look like real people with real faces. They do not look like stick figures and they all look different.
-You can defiantly see depth perception in these paintings. As people and objects are closer they appear larger and as the fade to the distance they appear smaller.
-As you can see there is defiantly linear perspective, vanishing or focus point. When you look at the painting your eyes are drawn to one point in the painting.
-The people in the painting seem to be free to do whatever they choose. There is no reference to religion in this painting.
-There is an author in the actual painting unlike Medieval works. Can you find them?
Why?Why? Medieval art: Mostly religious; very focused on
creating symbols of Christian concepts/values; not concerned with realism. Served a purpose: "Before a worshipper has even entered the church, he would find images of saints and sinners, of angelic beings and the punishment of the damned. All stood as a reminder of the importance of holding one's thoughts to God." Statues were shallow and flat. Bodies might be out of proportion.
Renaissance art: Very focused on realism--on portraying things as they look. Used linear perspective in painting. Not as focused on religion. Often used to show the beauty in nature (including human beings). Often depicted everyday life. Used light and shadow.
Attention to detail is focused on more heavily during the Renaissance.
Realism focuses on life and how it is truly, not imaginative at all.
Art and PatronageArt and Patronage Italians were willing to spend a lot of
money on art./ Art communicated social, political, and
spiritual values./ Italian banking & international trade
interests had the money.
Public art in Florence was organized and supported by guilds.
Therefore, the consumption of art was used as a form of competition for social & political status!
