Raphael's Art Majorly Resembeled The Art Of Michelangelo

“Art is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone will have their own interpretation.” - E.A. Bucchianeri. Art is a beautiful construct and it has been seen as such and shall continue to be seen as such for generations to come. History has seen a vast number of extremely talented Artists, and while art may take new forms, its integrity shall remain unshifted. Two men in specific have contributed to art and its history like no other; Leonardo Da Vinci and Raphael Sanzio da Urbino. Both of these men, considered masters of their talents, have conceived some of the World’s greatest artworks, but it is here that I would like to specifically examine, compare, and contrast the ideals of both man and his work in a self-portrait from each their own. Leonardo’s Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk and Raphael’s Portrait of a Young Man.

Art is a conversation between the artist and the audience, and through which the artwork is the medium between both. The artist, as the author of the piece, generates the message, plans the piece, and executes it to the best of his abilities. The audience, on their part, uses past experiences and knowledge of the artist and artwork to interpret the work,(which interestedly can lead to multiple conclusions of the work that are far distant from the artist's original understanding). Then there is the artwork itself: it is the passive participant whose influences beyond that of the artist and the audience is time. Throughout history, this has been the case—Raphael and his Galatea, and Leonardo da Vinci and his Last Supper—but in more recent times,

Every painting is a unique experience for each individual person, therefore two of the artists that offered some of the most unique experiences where Leonardo da vinci and Michelangelo. While both of these painters are today well regarded and remembered, during their time they both had achieved such status in vastly different ways. Therefore even though these two artists lived during the same time these two are nothing alike. With their unique take on the world and events around them they were able to shape how the average person thought about the world around them.

Leonardo, the distracted, uncommitted artist, easily lost interest in his work, leaving the majority of his pieces unfinished. Michelangelo was also an avid give-up-er, though not to the unprofessional extent of Leonardo, which is one of the reasons Michelangelo tended to get more attention from people who paid for art, as Michelangelo was more reliable. In contrast, Raphael created and finished much more art than the others. The reasons for the differences in these artists’ amount of unfinished art can be revealed in how much assistance they used. First, Leonardo did his work almost completely on his own, limiting his assistants to mostly mixing the paints. Michelangelo shared this controlling personality, letting only his best helpers paint small and insignificant parts of the sistine chapel. Lastly, Raphael was more open to assistance, letting his aids do much of the painting of his large pieces, giving him more time in the creativity and drawing out of his

The works of Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo influenced the art of the 16th century in Italy and Europe in many ways. Three of Michelangelo’s works such as: The Last Judgment, Pieta, and David were great works during his time. Leonardo da Vinci also contributed great works to the 15st century such as: The Last Supper, St. James in the Wilderness, and The Mona Lisa. Although there were some similarities in Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo’s works, their differences and uniqueness is what made their works great masterpieces of the 15th and 16th century.

Although Leonardo and Raphael’s paintings are similar, they also differ in many aspects. In Leonardo’s piece, chiaroscuro is used which enhances the modeling of the three-dimensional forms, reflecting Leonardo’s individual style. He also uses the technique sfumato, which involves the shading of light and dark colors making the painting lose its vibrancy of colors and appear darker. Compared to Raphael’s piece, Madonna of the Goldfinch, vibrate colors are used. The Madonna’s clothing is painted with bold colors such as red and blue, drawing more attention to the Madonna. Raphael’s painting is much brighter compared to Leonardo’s piece in which darker colors were used.

Michelangelo was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer. His most well-known technique was fresco. He had a major influence on the development of western art. He also influenced many artists in the Renaissance. He was born in Caprese, Italy in the year of 1475. He considered Florence to be his home at heart. During the Renaissance Era, Florence was a center of art. Michelangelo saw that as an opportunity to develop his true talents. At 13, Michelangelo was an apprentice to painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, particularly known for his murals. Although Michelangelo expressed his genius in many media, he would always consider himself a sculptor first. Michelangelo has always been known as one of the most famous Renaissance artists because of his awe-inspiring paintings, Sistine Chapel Ceiling, The Last Judgment, and The Torment of Saint Anthony, and artistic panache.

I have chosen to compare and contrast the two David's, sculpted by two different individuals, Michelangelo and Donatello. Although both sculptures look extremely different they both carry various correlations to each other. Both artist were very famous during the renaissances time period and both should be deeply appreciated for their artwork. This paper shall compare the two David's from each artist, explaining the key differences and stunning similarities. Michelangelo crafted his, David, during the time period of 1501 - 1505, which is now located in the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence.

Michelangelo is a renowned sculptor, painter and architect known for his artwork in the Italian renaissance. He is celebrated mostly for his sculptures including Pieta, and David; and for his Sistine Chapel Frescoes, Genesis, and The Last Judgment. (Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564).) However these are only a few of his many artworks, most of which have been destroyed, but still left a great impact on the Renaissance, and Western civilization. (La Renaissance Italy) Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on March 6, 1475, and lived until 1564.

Before reading about the Renaissance, the word meant nothing to me but the name of a fair, Raphael was just a ninja turtle in red and the pieces of art I could easily recognize weren’t anything but some old paintings. Little did I realize that though the Renaissance happened so long ago, it’s still very significant to our lives. The purpose of this essay is not only to bring knowledge about Raphael and his work during the Renaissance but also acknowledge how influential he was an artist and still continues to have influence on many artists today. Along with his works being famous around the world, each thought and detail he put into his artwork and all he designed is still appreciated. Not only was Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino an Italian

Michelangelo and Raphael had a grudge against ones artistic ability. Michelangelo believed that it was due to Raphael’s sneak peek at the sixteenth chapel before the art work was complete that inspired and taught Raphael’s massive formats of art. Michelangelo believed that he basically sculpted Raphael’s artistic views and format. But whoever you pick on the Michelangelo vs Raphael debate it is overall simplistic too argue that their lives were not that much of a difference,

The Renaissance was a period in Europe civilisation that immediately followed the Middle Ages. It was an era of cultural growth that was introduced in Italy and was carried on throughout northern Europe lasting the 14th to 17th century. Many artists and scholars of that time period believed that they were contributing in a revival of the ideals and worth of the periods that arrive before them. The Renaissance period open doors for individuals to rediscover one’s will and obligations of observing the environment. It was an opening for them to express themselves in human terms. They shifted their interest from God centred to humans centred, known as Humanism. The Renaissance had expanded into four periods which were classified as Early Renaissance,

Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti were, and still are considered to be two of the greatest minds, even geniuses of the Renaissance. But which one is more of a genius than the other? Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452, son to a notary called Ser Piero. Ser Pier has sex with a woman called Catarina, which resulted in her pregnancy. For a believed reason that Catarina was the Daughter of a farmer, they never got married. Ser Pier later married another woman, when he was 25, which is the time Leonardo was born. As for Michelangelo, he was born on March 6, 1475, to a father called Ludovico, and a mother named Francesca, who was not capable of taking care of him. She sent her son to a family of stone cutters, and whose

In my opinion, Raphael was attempting to present the ideas of God and Divinity along with the ideas of philosophies and science. This shows how much value the culture was then putting on God and the Divine. During this time, science and reigion were very sepeate schools of thoughts. Painting both fresnios shows the value of religion and science.

Both artworks of raphael and botticelli’s does have a unique similarly from the concept. But there is a different between them that have a little touch from each other. In the text is say that the piece that raphael made of galatea celebrate the sensuality of the pagan sprit as it were a living force comparing is work and botticelli’s the birth of venus (pg.541), both going for the composition of nude female on the seashell. Surely both have the same concept but botticelli’s originally came up with it before raphael take the idea and made his own form of style. With the resemblance, it only serves to emphasize their profound differences, as raphael figures are vigorously sculptural and arranged in a dynamic spiral movement around galatea twisting
