RENAISSANCE PERIOD (1400 – 1600)

Rebirth, revival and rediscovery are the words


synonymous with Renaissance that come from the
word “renaitre”. An era where it flourished in Italy in
the late 14th century until the early part of the 16th
century. This period consists of new discoveries and
great intellectual achievements. Renaissance art
portrays humanism, realism, individualism and
classicism as shown in their different paintings,
sculptures and architectures.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RENAISSANCE ART

CLASSICISM
Reviving the ideas of classical Greece and Rome in
arts were obviously the main works of this period. These
classical ideas that came from Greece and Rome were used
and shown in the works of Renaissance artists. The
subjects of their paintings along with religious subjects were
ancient Greeks and Roman mythology. They also replicated
the ideas of a human body posing in a moving position like
the same way during ancient Greece, they called it
“contrapposto” which means counter pose. An image that
portrays an impression of movement.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RENAISSANCE ART

HUMANISM

Many artists follow this philosophy of humanism,


believing that the betterment of a person lies in the
acquisition of knowledge. Human beings must strive to know
more and have more skills in different disciplines. This trait
was evident in our renaissance artists such as Leonardo Da
Vinci, Massacio, Michelangelo and many more.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RENAISSANCE ART

INDIVIDUALISM

Renaissance period calls for self-realization,


acknowledging that one ‘s personality is unique, genuine
and important. These ideals were manifested in their work of
art as shown in individual subjects in painting, portraits like
Mona Lisa, and free standing in sculpture rather than relief
flourishes.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RENAISSANCE ART

REALISM

A more real portrayal of their artworks. A true-to-life,


realistic interpretation using linear perspective and
modeling. Artists tend to put their subject in natural settings
and draw with facial expressions showing the reality of the
artwork. This characteristic was clear in Michelangelo’ works
of David.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RENAISSANCE ART

SECULARISM

Renaissance artists flourished also because of the


patronage from wealthy families like the Medici. In addition
to this sponsorship, artists have a freedom to defy religious
subjects to more secular subjects and forms of art. They
have high intentions of doing non-religious themes in art.
