CHAPTER 7 ITALIAN RENAISSANCE ART T he Italian Renaissance was one of the most productive periods in the history of art, with large numbers of outstanding masters to be found in many centers and in all the major fields painting, sculpture, and architecture. In Florence, in the first half of the fifteenth century, there were great innovators in all these fields, whose work marked a beginning of a new era in the history of art. These innovators included Masaccio in painting, Brunelleschi in architecture, and Donatello in sculpture. Their new ideals and methods were systematized in the theoretical writings of their friend and fellow artist Leon Battista Alberti. There can also be observed in this period a change in the social status of the artist. Heretofore, he had been an artisan, a craftsman. Now the attempt was made to include artists among the practitioners of the "liberal arts," which were regarded as being on a higher level than the "mechanical arts." These efforts bore fruit, and some of the great masters, for example, Titian and Michelangelo , by the force of their genius and personality, were able to achieve a measure of status and respect rarely enjoyed by their predecessors. The idea of artistic genius became popular; Michelangelo was called "divine" because of the greatness of his creative powers.

The Italian Renaissance (1420-1600) In the arts and sciences as well as society and government, Italy was the major catalyst for progress during the Renaissance: the rich period of development that occurred in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages. Because of the number of different fields in which it applied, ``Renaissance'' is a word with many layers of meaning. Accordingly, Renaissance painting cannot signify any one common or clearly definable style. As Gothic painting had been shaped by the feudal societies of the Middle Ages, with its roots in the Romanesque and Byzantine traditions, Renaissance art was born out of a new, rapidly evolving civilization. It marked the point of departure from the medieval to the modern world and, as such, laid the foundations for modern Western values and society. The Early Renaissance The High Renaissance The Renaissance in Italy started gradually, its beginnings being apparent even in Giotto 's work, a century before Masaccio was active. The quest for scientific precision and greater realism culminated in the superb balance of harmony of Leonardo Raphael , and Michelangelo . The influence of Humanism is reflected in the increase of secular subjects. In the final phase of the Renaissance, Mannerism became the dominant style.

La Renaissance The term Renaissance, adopted from the French equivalent of the Italian word rinascita, meaning literally "rebirth," describes the radical and comprehensive changes that took place in European culture during the 15th and 16th centuries, bringing about the demise of the Middle Ages and embodying for the first time the values of the modern world. The consciousness of cultural rebirth was itself a characteristic of the Renaissance. Italian scholars and critics of this period proclaimed that their age had progressed beyond the barbarism of the past and had found its inspiration, and its closest parallel, in the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. The Renaissance in Italy Flanders and the Netherlands Germany France The term Renaissance, describing the period of European history from the early 14th to the late 16th century, is derived from the French word for rebirth, and originally referred to the revival of the values and artistic styles of classical antiquity during that period, especially in Italy. To Giovanni BOCCACCIO in the 14th century, the concept applied to contemporary Italian efforts to imitate the poetic style of the ancient Romans. In 1550 the art historian Giorgio VASARI used the word rinascita (rebirth) to describe the return to the ancient Roman manner of painting by

The modern conception of the Renaissance actually derives from the nineteenth century in the work of Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt , who published a pioneering work in 1860 in which he saw the Renaissance as almost purely cultural, as the work of a small Italian elite pioneering a new attitude toward human beings. They now saw human beings as people who had suddenly acquired a new consciousness utmx_section("View Essays") re the main battles of the "war of styles" took place during the first half of the fifteenth century . Two of the more important artists of the era were Matthias Grunewald and Albrecht Durer . Both died in 1528 and were probably of the same age, though only Durer's birthdate is knownhe was born in 1471. Durer was internationally famous, while Grunewald remained so obscure that his real name was discovered only at the end of the nineteenth centuryMathis Gothart Nithart. Grunewald's fame is similar to that of El Greco in that it has developed only in this century. In the Northern art of his time he shows overwhelming power. One of his works is the Isenheim Altarpiece, painted between 1509/1510 and 1515 for the monastery church of the Order of St. Anthony at Isenheim in Alsace. It is now in the museum of the nearby town of Colmar. It is a carved shrine with two sets of movable wings, and it has three stages, or views. In the first and outermost, all the wings are closed.

Renaissance Art The French term Renaissance emerged in the 19th century and was used to describe an entire period of rebirth, occurring between the 14th and 17th centuries. Artists of this time looked back to those before them while incorporating a greater sense of light and color through new mediums. Creating a sense of space was also a major innovation of the time, as was perspective, a clever device that causes your eye to see in three-dimension. Art during the Renaissance was mostly made for commissions or religious reasons. Baxandall points out that by the end of the 15th century, contracts concerning commissions specified that most of the painting must be done by the masters’ hand. It was the work of the master that brought with it the most money and prestige. The Renaissance proved to be a time of great transformation of the artist as they came to occupy a different place in society, for art was becoming more than just a craft. Renaissance society was dominated by guilds, which represented the important trades in the city. All were connected to a patron saint and each looked out for their fellow members, ensuring that all had a job and a decent income. Workshops were also abundant, where a master paid to take on an apprentice to teach practical skills in the field. Giorgio Vasari is a very important man for anyone studying the Renaissance for he provides much information about most artists in “The Lives of the Most Excellent Sculptors, Painters and Architects” published in 1550.Vasari gives us an image of the middle ages where at the end of darkness comes light, the light being the Renaissance. He breaks down this time period into three major parts, saying that the 14th century was a period of infancy (and the works of Giotto), the 15th century a period of adolescence (and the works of Masaccio), and the 16th century as a period of maturity (and the works of da Vinci). It is these artists that light the way out darkness.
