How was Renaissance art different from European art?
The Renaissance brought one of the major changes in the history of art. Every period has its own style, perhaps copied from another time, but has a new ingredient. The renaissance is no exception.
Renaissance literally means rebirth. Rebirth of knowledge. Rebirth of art. What we must understand is that the renaissance was a time for genii, many involved within the world of architecture, painting, sculpture, and more. Let us divide these into groups.
ArchitectureThe renaissance people started doing something completely different that was the main difference between them and the middle ages' people. They looked at their past, that is, at the architectural wonders of the Romans', Greeks' and other famous peoples. many admired buildings stand today, like the Colosseum and pantheon in Italy people as Brunelleschi ,da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael built things as though from the ancient time. Brunelleschi was known as the father of architecturebecause of his outstanding structural ideas on The Dome of Florence It still stands today.
Painting Paintings were not made for fun at those times. They were ordered to be made by patrons and were drawn for them by artists. the main change, however, that drastically changed the world, was PERSPECTIVE . The art of a third dimension was unbelievably real. Techniques of shadow, lighting, size, color, blurry effect, and other were ALL used in a painting. the father of perspective was called da Vinci, who was so enthusiastic about perspective he even created a device to help him with the vanishing point in drawings.
SculptureSculpting was changed because of the first free nude standing statues in a long time, and this shocked people greatly. Donatello's David created chaos, but soon after, many of the famous sculptures were carving and sculpting nude figures as well and the style caught on. one of the most memorable sculptor was Michelangelo, who could carve miracles from marble like the David.
All in all, we must admit that the renaissance led to great sculptures, buildings and paintings. There were many more changes in this period not just of art but of science, math and biology. The rebirth of art was a miracle .
