The High Renaissance was more impactful than the Early Renaissance. While the Early Renaissance provided the foundational skills required for Renaissance art and thinking, the High Renaissance allowed for artists and their talent to expand and influence other regions. To the average individual, the Late Renaissance remains the most prominent due to the creative and technical prowess of famous artists, and the development of Europe’s literary and philosophical culture. The High Renaissance is

Known as one of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo was born on March 6th, 1475 to a noble family in Florentine, Italy. At the age of only 13, Michelangelo was apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandaio, and placed him in a studio to learn the fundamentals of art. He only worked there for about a year after Lorenzo de Medici invited him to his home to work as an artist for them. One of the most renowned work from his teen years was the marble sculpture called “The Madonna of

The concept of time travel will always intrigue me. As a matter of fact, I am strongly convinced that time travel will come to reality in the near future. If I was given the opportunity to go back in time, I would like to visit the Renaissance era. The Renaissance was the bridge that allowed art and science to merge. This era inspired people to think creatively and logically, fueled by education and literature, knowledge was unstoppable. As an artist and a science enthusiast, traveling to the

Albrecht Dürer was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist of the High Renaissance. He was known for his paintings and engravings. His preferred technique for altarpieces, portraits, and self-portraits was watercolour. His woodcuts and engravings retained a more gothic feeling compared to the rest of his work. Engravings that are well known include the “Knight, Death, and the Devil” done in 1513, “Saint Jerome in his Study” done in 1514, and “”Melencolia I” done in 1514. The three engravings has

The Story of Cupid and Psyche first appeared in the book Metamorphoses by Apuleius, written between 124-170 AD. The story deals with many themes prevalent in tales from classical antiquity, including love, challenging trials, and interference from the gods. It tells the tale of a love story between a mortal woman and a god. Psyche is the youngest daughter of an unnamed king and queen, renowned for her beauty, while Cupid (also known as Eros in Roman mythology) is the son of the goddess Venus, and

The most important difference between Maestà and Antigone is the message that each portrays to society. Duccio di Buoninsegna’s series of individualized paintings depicting the Virgin Mary display her as a central figure that is respected and possibly worshiped by both men and women. Sophocles’ play on the other hand displays female oppression through his main character and the lack of dedication to religion by men. I think this is an important difference because each work of art exposes the beliefs

The Renaissance period started in the 14th century and later ended in the 16th century. Right after the Gothic era ended the Renaissance period was born. Additionally, people believe that the Gothic era contained artwork that later evolved in the Renaissance time period. For instance, Gothic art had a naturalistic representation and so did Renaissance art. However, it was more obvious in the Renaissance art. During this time period there was sparks of interest in the sciences and arts. Before many

The second work is The Madonna of the Pinks [Fig 2] by Raphael. Raphael was also a prominent artist of his time, and has often been compared to Leonardo and Michelangelo. This work of oil paint on yew, or fruitwood, was created during the High Renaissance circa 1506-7 A.D. Also created in Florence, Italy, it is

artists. This is how the artist Raphael Sanzio came about being one of the best of his time. Raphael took methods and ideas from his surrounding colleagues and then he would combine them with his own personality to create some of the best works from his era. Raphael Sanzio's work of the Italian High Renaissance era is the result of influences and incorporation of techniques of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Pietro Perugino, and Leonardo

The High Renaissance was the culmination of the artistic revolution of the Early Renaissance, and one of the great explosions of creative genius in history.(1). During the Renaissance there were many drastic changes in the style of art. Giotto was a very influential painter, during the start of the Renaissance. In Giotto's work he used three dimensional images; this was a drastic change from the classic art where depth was not used. His paintings were very realistic and life like, unlike the previous
