Northern Renaissance Differences

463 Words1 Page

Thinking about the significant differences found between the Northern Renaissance and the Southern Renaissance helps us understand why there was a difference in the depicted scene. When it comes to Northern Renaissance, it is known that they kept to the Middle Ages art style. As we saw, when it came to Giotto, the fact that he was already venturing off and trying new techniques shows us that Italy was where Early Renaissance took place. That explains why Massys’ version was more old styled compared to Giotto’s. One main point to remember is that the reason why Giotto was able to venture off and try something new was because he was hired to paint a private chapel and only had to please one man. Usually when it came to both North and South

    Like the art of the Renaissance, Early Netherlandish art demonstrated a move from gothic art toward more realistic and natural depictions. Unlike Renaissance art, however, Netherlandish art kept some aspects of Gothic art. For example, it did not affect architecture. Gothic style remained the primary style for architecture in the North.

    The paintings by Duccio and Giotto firmly set in place a benchmark for where artwork in the years around 1300 began to develop. These artworks show how paintings began to evolve into more symbolic, naturalistic, and dramatic scenes, depicting events in life and religion. The paintings of Duccio and Giotto are similar in the sense that their paintings were then, in the sense of more modern words, “special effects” of their time.

  • Comparing Northern Renaissance And Italian Renaissance Art

    While the Flemish were proficient in oil painting, Italian Renaissance artists continued their predecessor’s use of tempera. Furthermore, the paintings were ultimately created for different purposes and separate viewers. Although both works are centered on the defining moment of the annunciation, The Merode Altarpiece incorporates this scene into a secular setting, therefore differing from Fra Angelico’s The Annunciation which was painted for a monastery. Finally, Flemish and Italian Renaissance paintings differ in levels of realism. Although the Flemish painters were skilled in portraying realism of physical forms, they lacked a full understanding of linear perspective. In contrast, the Italian Renaissance artists were well versed in linear perspective but lacked a complete grasp of the natural

  • Differences And Similarities Between The Northern And Southern Colonies

    The Northern and Southern Colonies had many differences and similarities. Politically and socially, in the Northern Colonies, the church controlled the law and was noticed throughout the colony. However, in the South, land owners were the wealthiest and controlled the laws. They were the dominant party instead of the church like in the Northern Colonies. The North was filled with small farms and larger cities whereas the South had larger plantations but fewer large cities. Another difference was that the South relied very heavily on slave labor.

  • The Renaissance Period in Europe

    689 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Renaissance Period is widely known for the abundance of amazing portraiture that circulated around Europe. During the Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer, a German artist painted a self-portrait in 1500 that had qualities that differed from the usual style of artist in that time (Chauhan). Jean Clouet also painted a portrait for the King of France and became the official court painter. Both artists had a talent for portraiture, while their styles were quite different. King Francis I wanted to be seen as a powerful man, and appointed Clouet to paint him in a classically renaissance way that highlights his wealth and authority. Dürer, described as a cocky, self-centered man, painted himself in a light that is unique and puts him on a ‘holy’ pedestal (Stokstad 356). In this essay I will show how although both paintings have clear differences with their style, both men in the compositions are conveyed in a great and very powerful sense.

  • The Shift Between The Middle Ages And Renaissance

    1352 Words  | 3 Pages

    The shift between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance was characterized by great socio-economic, political, and religious changes. Politically, the feudal system of the Middle Ages was exchanged for a more stable centralized republic/monarchy system that gave the people more freedom and input. Religiously, secularism became more important as stability gave people a chance to concern themselves with the “here and now” rather than simply the “hereafter.” Socially, there was a shift from dogma and unshakeable belief to humanism and the ability to interpret things for oneself. The Middle Ages began around 400 CE and lasted until 1400 CE while the Renaissance began around 1200 and continued until 1600. The 200 years that overlap between these two periods contain many pieces of “transition” art in which it is obvious that the change is beginning to take place. These collective changes that took place in this period dictated change in art as well. There were changes in iconography, style, purpose, and patronage that facilitated the overall transformation of art from a sense of illustrating what you are told to believe is true to optical realism and conveying how you yourself interpret that “truth”.

  • Artistic comparison

    1410 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Renaissance art that I've included contains a piece by Robert Campin entitled “Annunciation Triptych,” and another work by Fra Filippo Lippi, called “Madonna and Child Enthroned with Two Angels.” In both of these paintings we see some of the typical themes of Renaissance art. For example, Lippi included in his scene a background which wouldn't have necessarily been needed. Really he could have chosen just about anything, like the woods or the sea, that might have been easier to paint. He chose though what appears to be the inside of a building, likely a church. Not only that but he went to great lengths to ensure everything was in perspective, and the lines and angles are straight and sharp. Similarly Campin has also chosen an interior scenes with strong perspective and exacting details. In both of these the artists seem to be capturing an event, much like with a photography in modern times. While both images portray fictional scenes, the artists wanted to capture the moment to tell a precise historical story. They both go to some lengths to include background details which also capture architectural details. To me it seems that they both approached their work meticulously and with reason and mathem...

    His initial innovations spread throughout Italy and eventually Europe like wildfire, winning him lifelong fame and attracting any number of enthusiastic followers and imitators. At the time, Giotto’s methods were ground-breaking and he spent most of his time very slowly refining them. His earliest known work, at the Church of St. Francis in Assisi, does not outstandingly differ from his final work at the Campanile in Florence. Giotto's techniques ranged from the non-stylized, immense, emotional, authentic-looking way of painting humans, to the bright and colorful scenery substituted for traditionally "holy" colors. He is also credited with his dedication to naturalism which made him the definitive artist of his time. His informal title of father of the Renaissance is not undeserved and di Bondone's style remains one of the most significant contributions in the history of
