Recently our professor discussed about
an Overview of Art History. Actually this week our blogspot entry is about the
best and most influential era of art and design. We have to choose and give our
own opinion about it. Definitely, one thing
that comes first to my mind is the Renaissance period, being an influential era
of all time because it was full of great changes as artists expanded their
skills of making realistic images both in paint and sculpture. Base on my research one art historian said,
that the term “RENAISSSANCE “means “REBIRTH” used as a mark of an era of broad
cultural achievement as result of renewed interest in the Greco-Roman Art. The artistic
treasures of the Greco-Roman antiquity inspired by Humanism, one can reach
artistic greatness wisdom and enlightenment. During this artistic period most of the
Renaissance works of art were produced. Those
artworks were painting, sculpture and decorative arts of that period of European
history known as the Renaissance. One thing that made me amazed was the
artistic developments and the contributions of such great artist like Leonardo
da Vinci and Michaelangelo who inspired the term “Renaissance man.”

During this period they are known with
their great quality when it comes in artistic design. Like for example in
painting, they have a linear quality of Renaissance painting, they showed the
clarity of which every detail is perfected and characterized by soft, deep
shadows and greater awareness of the texture and handling of the paint itself,
that is why high Renaissance is definitely my favorite painting style. There is
so much rhythm and harmony in the paintings.
Aside from
that they have an awesome sculpture, and other art were great and has a
beautiful vibes. All I can say is….
Thumbs up to those great artist in the History of Arts because they provided
those who would follow the techniques and procedure that still trend and
continues to this day. ^_^
