How does the high renaissance differ from mannerism?

Answer 1

Mannerism is a form of painting notable for elongated forms, precariously balanced poses, a collapsed perspective, irrational settings, and theatrical lighting.

The High Renaissance art was represented by its development of highly realistic linear perspective with the works of Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael along with Botticelli, Donatello and Titian representing artistic pinnacles that were to be much imitated by other artists.

Mannerism, still a controversial term, followed High Renaissance, and was later replaced by the Baroque style.

Answer 2

While Renaissance paintings used linear perspective quite commonly, medieval paintings used other types of perspective. This meant that the treatment of perspective in Renaissance painting was closer to what you would see in a photograph.

Renaissance artists were often trained in anatomy, but medieval painters almost never were. So the Renaissance art tended to be more anatomically correct.

Renaissance artists were interested in different things than medieval artists. Medieval artwork tended to deal with idealized Christian religious themes, while renaissance artwork was more involved with ordinary human beings, important people of their times, and even ancient mythology.

Answer 3

Early renaissance was very different b/c they were just getting started..... What began in the Early Renaissance was perfected in the High Renaissance.
