  1. Renaissance Rebirth in Europe

  2. Characteristics • Humanism – intellectual movement that focused on human potential and achievements. • Secularism- emphasis on “Earthly” world and not spiritual • Realism- visual representation of what people see • Perspective- the use of a horizon in the art work • Proportion- three dimensional instead of flat

  3. During Middle Ages, Europe suffered from both war and plague. • Those who survived wanted to celebrate life and the human spirit. • Some people began questioning the church. • These men and women would greatly change how Europeans saw themselves and their world.

  4. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo

  5. Portraying Individuals Da Vinci – The Mona Lisa (1504-1506) Renaissance artists showed individuals as they really looked. Renaissance patrons wanted art that showed joy in human beauty and life’s pleasures.

  6. Renaissance Science and Technology Leonardo Da Vinci filled notebooks with observations and sketches of new inventions. The spiral screw design was shown to achieve flight. This drawing anticipated the helicopter.

  7. Classical and Renaissance Sculpture Michelangelo sculpted David from 1501 to 1504. David’s posture is graceful, yet his figure also displays strength. The statue which is 18 feet tall towers over the viewer.

  8. MichelangeloBuonarroti of Florence was one of the greatest artists of all time. Michelangelo was a devout Christian, and the church was his greatest patron. Michelangelo’s paintings cover the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the building where new popes have been selected for more than five hundred years. When Martin Luther saw this it contributed to his belief that the Catholic Church needed reforms.

  9. Raphael • RaffaelloSanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.

  10. Sandro Botticelli - Venus is illustrated as a beautiful and chaste goddess and symbol of the coming spring. Her depiction as a nude is significant in itself, given that during this time in Renaissance history almost all artwork was of a Christian theme, and nude women were hardly ever portrayed.
