  3. Judith Beheading Holofernes • The Old Testament narrates the episode of Judith who saved her city of Bethulia from the siege of Holofernes, general of the Assyrian king Nabucodonosor, by killing him after a banquet at which he had been made drink, beheading him and bringing his head to his fellow citizens (Judith ch. 10-13). The episode is illustrated in three scenes. On the left are the sleeping guards, in the centre Judith and her handmaid covering the head of the murdered Holofernes, (presumed to be a portrait of Michelangelo) with a cloth and, lastly, on the right we see the body of the mutilated Holofernes.

  5. CHIAROSCURO (key arrow SKEWRo) or MODELING TECHNIQUE • Definitions: • Value is an element of art that is concerned with the lightness or the darkness of a hue. It is dependent upon how much light a surface reflects. • Form is an element of art that has three dimensions—height and width as well as depth. It encloses space. Form can be geometric or free-form and actual or illusional. • Chiaroscuro is the arrangement of light and shadow. This technique was introduced by Italian artists during the Renaissance and mastered by the Baroque artists. It is also called modeling and shading.

  6. Proportion is a principle of design that is concerned with size relationships of one part to another. • Perspective is a graphic system that creates the illusion of depth and volume on a two-dimensionalsurface. There are two forms both developed in the Renaissance time perod. An architect, Filippo Brunelleschi, developed linear perspective.Leonardo da Vincideveloped aerial perspective.Aerial perspective is the portrayal atmospheric haze. It is achieved by using less focus, along with bluer, lighter, and duller hues for the distant spaces and objects shown in a picture.

  9. Renaissance time period Renaissance - A revival or rebirth of cultural awareness and learning that took place during the 14thand 15th centuries, particularly in Italy, but also in Germany and other European countries. This period had a renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman art and design and included an emphasis on human beings, their environment, science, and philosophy.(1400-1600)

  10. Renaissance artists: • Donatello (Italian, 1386-1466), • Leonardo da Vinci (Italian, 1452-1519) • Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian, 1475-1564) • Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio) (Italian, 1483-1520)

  16. Four technical breakthroughs: • Oil on stretched canvas = slower drying time allowing for greater details and the ability to show three-dimensional form. • Perspective = allowed the creation of illusion on a 2-dimensional surface; two kinds are linear and aerial. • The use of light and shadow a.k.a. Chiaroscuro = modeling of form which created the further illusion of form; Chiaroscuro is an Italian word that means light and dark. http://www.forvo.com/word/chiaroscuro/#en • Pyramid construction = this is an organizing tool to arrange subject matter that creates a pleasing composition.

  17. Baroque time period Baroque is an artistic style that emphasized movement, strong value contrast, and variety. It developed after the Reformation in the 17th century. Artists used movement of forms and figures toward the viewer, dramatic lighting effects, constrast between dark and light, ornamentation, and curved lines to express energy and strong emotions.

  18. Baroque artists: • Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi) (Italian, Lombard, 1571/73-1610), • Gianlorenzo Bernini (Italian, 1598-1680), • Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640), • Artemisia Gentileschi (Italian, 1593-1651/53) • Diego Velázquez (Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez) (Spanish, 1599-1660) • Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (Dutch, Amsterdam, 1606-1669
