renaissance (1 gen 1420 anni – 1 gen 1520 anni)

Descrizione:

Europe experienced a significant period of cultural and artistic innovation during the Renaissance period of art history, which lasted from 1420 to 1520 AD. The patronage of the Medici family in Florence, which commissioned numerous significant works of art from artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Botticelli, was one of this period's most significant events. The first book on art history, Giorgio Vasari's "Lives of the Artists," was published, helping to elevate the status of artists and their works. This was another significant event. Painting's use of light and shadow and the development of linear perspective also marked a significant shift in artistic technique, resulting in works of great depth and realism. Raphael, whose works represented humanism and classical antiquity, and Albrecht Dürer, whose prints revolutionized the way art was reproduced and distributed, are notable artists from this time period. Generally, the Renaissance time frame was a period of extraordinary imaginative accomplishment, with craftsmen pushing the limits of what was recently imagined concerning method and topic.
