Giovanni Bellini

When seeing this painting in person we see all the lines and colors really pop out as opposed to seeing it in a text book. You see that the images are much clearer in person giving us sharper appearances of the subject matters. With Manfredi being a member of the Caravaggisti, and therefore; we see Caravaggio like methods in the painting; such as the darken background, and the one source lighting. With the background being very dark not only does it allow you to focus more on the subject matter of the piece but it allows for the gloomy emotional aspect of it to be displayed. With the one source lighting in this painting it permits for Cupid’s skin to look like actual perfect flesh. The lighting allows Manfredi to show off his skills on how well can he imitate the human flesh by having the layers of red, giving the painting life, and the layers of blue, giving the paint translucently. The lighted areas that is caused by the once source of light focuses on the main parts of the composition; the flying doves, the Mars’ arm holding Cupid’s wrist, Cupid, and the Venus’ shoulder and arm. Like most of Caravaggio’s paintings, the one source lighting helps Manfredi to displays Leonardo’s Golden triangle method. Just like Caravaggio’s paintings, Manfredi uses the Golden triangle method so that the viewer’s eye is always being

In the realm of art, the portrait is one of the most intimate and relatable subject matters to the average human. In the past, the main purpose of the portrait was to capture the essence of the person that commissioned the work. The beauty of art is the fact that every artist views the world in a different light, which is reflected and understood when many works of the same subject are compared. No matter how hard one attempts to emulate someone else’s work, their own personal touch will innately shine through the piece. Many artists’ styles are so distinct that the viewer will instantly recognize their work, which is the same idea that great musical artists’ work can be identified within the first few seconds of a song. In order to develop a style that is exclusive to one person, they must first master the basic and essential aspects of the visual arts such as composition and the creation of still life pieces. Getting a solid understanding of the world and the skill of close observation is a step that mustn’t be skipped in the development of a personal style or look. Amedeo Modigliani’s portraits can be identified almost immediately, because of the distinctive features he incorporated into his subjects. His diligence in art school and his general desire to become a better artist were crucial aspects of him eventually finding and solidifying his iconic style.

In Artwork 1, Mary is placed in the centre of the image between Christ who is on the left and God who is on the right. The Holy Spirit is between the two which forms the Holy Trinity. The composition can be viewed as forming an inverted triangle or heart shape. Mary is the focal figure with an attitude of modesty, reverence and tranquil emotion with her right hand placed upon her heart in which reinforces this. God is expressed as a picture of wisdom as He is crowning the head of Mary with a garland of roses, along side Jesus. The Holy Spirit is present in the image above Mary and is portrayed in the traditional form of a white dove. Cherubs, angelic beings, are visible at the base of the painting which can be interpreted as guards. The use of blue in their garments symbolising heavenly grace in

The centerpiece of the piece is obviously Mary, though she is on the right side of the painting. In one hand she holds an open bible, and she holds her other hand up in prayer while she is looking down with her eyes almost completely shut.

Francesco used a style that I really enjoy, it is called pittura di tocco and it is a style known for its small dotting in the art work and it's small but clean brush strokes. It's a style that not many artist can lock down it is very very advanced. He started in venice italy when he was passed down a shop from his father who was deceased and he worked alongside his brother to make and sell hand made paintings. His paintings are beautiful painting like the venetian capriccio which is a landscape painting of the molo towards santa Maria. He was born october 1712 and when his father passed away in the year 1716 and that's when he had the shop passed down to him, he was only 4 when the shop was handed down to him and his brother.

Many of us today have things in our culture that we appreciate without thinking about where they have come from. The things we enjoy so much could be from another culture, and even another place in time. This document will explore the influence of Italian Renaissance art on today's civilization, which has greatly changed the art of today.

Giovanni Bellini, (born c. 1430, Venice [Italy]—died 1516, Venice), Italian painter who, in his work, reflects the increasing interest of the Venetian artistic milieu in the stylistic innovations and concerns of the Renaissance (metmuseum).

Bellini’s father, Jacopo, a painter was a pupil of the Gentile da Fabriano, in any case, Jacopo introduced the principles of the Florentine Renaissance to Venice before either of his sons (Britannica). Jacopo strove to ensure that his sons would become distinguished painters as well and, it is said, often pitted them each other.

In the piece, San Zaccaria Altarpiece by Giovanni Bellini, the Madonna and Child are depicted on their throne. There is someone playing music while and four saints are standing around the throne. The scene is peaceful, as the Virgin holds her child, and the saints seem to protect her. Bellini is mostly recognized for his work in the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries, because of the religious images and sculptures. Most of his work included the Virgin and Child, and the San Zaccaria Altarpiece is no different. However, the figures are not the only thing that should be looked at, because there are some elements of architecture that are beautiful too. THe arches bring the eye to the center of focus, the Virgin and Child.

“Dynamism Of A Dog On A Leash”, an oil painting created by Giacomo Balla in 1912, which is an Italian Futurist painter. It was one of the famous work in his life. That painting is locating in New York Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Balla’s father was a photographer. It’s a part of reason that affect his art style and pay attention in non-visual performance. When he stayed in Paris, he learnt deeply about impressionism and pointillism. After that, he felt interested in color and light control. Than he began to practice his own style. His work is full of dynamic and speed. He was emphasis the process of movement and all the motions recorded in the same space.

This is in fact because Masaccio drew the barrel-vaulted top of the interior from a lower viewpoint and this in turn made the lines, orthogonals, of the ceiling linearly converge on the top of bottom section, the ledge above the altar. The painting includes 7 key “figures”—8 if you count the skeleton. On the top portion, the donors are standing on the ledge outside the inner altar. Inside you have 5 figures. From the top down, you have God the father, a dove, Christ and then Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist. The dove is a representation of the Holy Ghost and the chapel scene represents the crucifixion of Christ with important figures involved. God the Father can be made out to have a foot and be actually standing on the inside of the chapel, not in a heavenly or alien place—a key characteristic of the Renaissance, Humanism. To add on, this part, that has only a few colors used, in equal, establishes balance. Finally, below the scene, in the altar, there is a skeleton and right above it a phrase that translates to “What you are I once was; what I am, you will be.” Not many painters experimented with vanitas, death, this

With the continuous growth of paintings and artists, prestige for art increased dramatically to the point in which religious aspects were shown through landscapes, portraits, and temperas. This then allowed the creation of new styles and mathematical input that manifested everyday life with religious aspects. One such artist was Giovanni Bellini who introduced bright, rich, strong colors into his palette and landscapes that expressed the happiness, calmness, and prosperity that Italy carried throughout the Renaissance. These characteristics and styles of paintings subsequently became a popular Venetian cornerstone. Other important figures in the Italian Renaissance that demonstrated the movement?s ideas through their ingenious paintings and architectural methods were Pier Della Francesca and Leon Battista Alberti. Francesca, who was and expert in mathematics, developed the art form of perspective. Alberti, on the other hand, as an architect developed the pediment which became popular throughout the entire Renaissance. His monasteries and churches depicted many of the religious ideas, as evident in one of his famous works, the Santa Maria Novella. All in all, the use of the common religious themes such as the annunciation, adoration, Crucifixion, and the popular Madonna

It’s impossible to talk about Italian Baroque art without Bernini. Bernini, who is considered the most important sculptor and one of the most important outstanding architect during the 17th century, still gives to the world the opportunity to enjoy the most inspiring and wonderful seeing of his artworks almost three hundred thirty-seven years after his dead until now [1]. Many of his artwork can be still appreciated at the gallery Borghese and other public piazzas, such as Piazza Navona, Piazza Barberini, and others.
