  1. Art of the Renaissance By: Robert, Sarah, Monet, Angelo, Bianca, Laura Jeanne

  2. Renaissance artists wanted to imitate nature in their works. They wanted people to see the reality of the objects or events they were showing.

  3. Masaccio • Painted fresco's in Florence at the beginning of the 15th century • A fresco is a painting done on fresh, wet plaster with water-based paints • His paintings had depth and came alive • He mastered the laws of perspective which enabled him to create the illusion of 3 dimensions • Developed a new realistic style of painting

  4. Leonardo da Vinci • Mastered the art of realistic painting and even dissected human bodies to better see how nature worked • He also stressed the need to advance beyond realism • His goal to create idealized forms that would capture the perfection of nature and the individual perfection • Painted the Last Supper

  5. Raphael • Painted numerous Virgin Mary's that were admired by many • At the age of 25 he was already one of Italy's best painter • He tried to achieve an ideal of beauty far surpassing human standards • Well known for his fresco's the Vatican Palace • School of Athen reveals a world of balance, harmony, and order • The underlying principles of the art of the classic world of Greece and Rome

  6. Brunelleschi • Was inspired by the buildings of classic Rome to create new architecture in Florence • The Medici hired him to design the church of San Lorenzo • Like painters and sculptors, Renaissance architects sought to reflect a human-centered world • He used columms and rounded arches to create an environment that doesn't overwhelm the worshipper

  7. Jan Van Eyck • Jan Van Eyck was one of the first to use oil paint. • Oil paints enabled artist to use a wide variety of colors and create fine details in his painting • Like other Northern Renaissance artists, Jan Van Eyck imitated nature not by using perspective, as Italians did. • He would simply observe reality and portray details the best he could.
