  1. Art of the Renaissance

  2. Rise of Humanism • People became less interested in thinking about God, heaven, and saints and more in thinking about themselves, their surroundings and their everyday lives. • Secular (not religious) Humanism (placing the study and progress of human nature at the center of interests) • The rise of Humanism can be seen in paintings created by Renaissance artists • Works of art created during the Renaissance are primary sources of information about how people lived. • By looking for evidence and specific clues, one can make judgments about whether a painting is a Renaissance painting or not.

  3. Madonna and Child in Glory • Jacopa di Cione • 1360-1365 • Tempera and gold on panel

  4. Madonna and Child in Glory • Very early example • Halos around the heads • Saints and angels around the upper border are smaller than the Madonna • Hieratic scale- most important figures are larger then the less important figures

  5. Miraculous Mass of St. Martin of Tours • Franconian School • About 1440 • Tempera and gold on canvas and panel

  6. Miraculous Mass of St. Martin of Tours • Gold backgrounds to symbolize the holy atmosphere of heaven • Signs of halos or hieratic scale? • Do their surroundings look true to life?

  7. Madonna and Child with St. John • GuilianoBugiardini • 1523/1525 • Halos? (different from the first painting?) • Landscape? (heavenly or earthly?)

  8. Madonna and Child with St. John • Live in the same world as ordinary people • Oil paint: allowed artists to build up layers of paint that light could shine through

  9. Adoration of the Shepherds • Giovanni Agostino da Lodi • 1510 • Hieratic scale? • Halos? • Tempera paint or oil?

  10. Adoration of the Magi • The Kress Monogramist; 1550/60; Oil on oak panel • Buildings? (true to life?) • Mathematical formulas allowed artists to represent space in paintings in a very believable way. • We call this accurate perspective

  11. Miraculous Mass of St. Martin of Tours The Adoration of the Magi • Which looks more true to life? Why? • Can you find halos in The Adoration of the Magi painting? • Is there any hieratic scale at work? • Where is the landscape in this painting? • Tempera paint or oil paint?

  12. The Bean Eater • Annibale Carracci • 1582/83 • Oil on canvas • Religious or ordinary? • Tempera or oil paint?
