ImpressionismPostImpressionism

Impressionism art is art that shows contemporary life outside. Artists dared to bring their easels out. This style was constructed in 1874 after being rejected in 1873 and was inspired by what the eyes could actually see rather than what the mind can comprehend by filling in the lines or blanks if you will. Landscapes such as Hills, Mountains, and bodies of Water made up the majority of known paintings during the 18th century. These artists would have to work in varying conditions because of the rapid change of conditions throughout the day.

    During the first half of the 19th century, Western culture increasingly came across other cultures around the world.Everyone they came into contact with they tried to force their ideas on beacuse in most other cultures they are opposed. This would cause confusion of where a certain art may have began. African items were fought over by Europeans. Japan was forced to open up access of its ports in the American west. The US military was going after a policy of the extermination of the American Indians. The result of this imposement made it more accessible for artists all over the globe to find new inspiration for their works of art. The pieces also, started to move by way of showing a more industrialized lifestyle.

Renaissance-Baroque Met Gallery

 The title of this piece is Perugino. It is an image of Saint John the Baptist. He is in a notable architecture. He was known for doing this. Rafael was his most famous student. He was active 1469-1523. This piece was most likely done in the mid 1490s. The artist is Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci. Cristoforo Vannuci was from near Perugio, Romagno, (Italy.)  The theme is Christianity. The narrative is of Saint John the Baptist/Saint Lucy. One of the important formal elements is the colour. The texture, tone and form are all also really relevant.

The title of this piece is Atalanta And Meleager. It is an image similar to The Hunt. The one on the right of the big guy blowing the horn seems really annoyed. Notably the tone is a little more dramatic. Being a Baroque piece this was very common.The theme is of a successful hunt. The artist was Peter Paul Rubens. He was from Seigen, Germany. The narrative is of the myth Atalanta And Meleager. 1577-1640 is when he was active. This piece is from 1616. The formal elements here are pattern, shape, and line which are all equally crucial in measure.

RenaissanceBaroque

As you can see in the first example of the vitruvian man by Fabio Castellan it is clearly a work from the renaissance. It is combining science and mysticism and it is drawn on faded paper. There is no color but the line work is quite exquisite. It is using a frontal pose. It is a more accurate depiction of the real. This artist could see the power of the unfinished and also was known for intense detail and tonality. The Sacred and Secular were inseparable. The bottom painting from the Baroque period which ran from about 1600-1770 is titled Jupiter and Juno. It is a work by Annibale Carracci. Renaissance techniques were used to heighten emotion, drama, and splender. The goal was to restore Catholocism's dominance centrality. Baroque art was very symbolic. Emotional realism was more important than reality to them. The use of light and darkness was very prominent in their works. In the 1300s the art was influenced very much so by medieval works. It was not until starting in the 1400s that they became alot more inspired by the Greeks and Romans. As you said in the lecture the high Renaissance which took place from 1490-1530 was epitomized by such artists as Raphael, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Raphael. A good deal of Baroque artists were inspired by the Renaissance artists who came before them. Some artists such as Caravaggio had their styles rejected. Andrea Palladio's villa rotonda was a very important motif. It was used from post modern buildings to the teatrico olimpico and more. As described above these are the defining characteristics of the art styles of both the Renaissance and Baroque.
