At the end of the fifteenth century, which the Italians by the rustic trick of language called the Quattrocento, that means 'four Hundreds'. The commenced of the fifteenth century, the Cinquecento, is the most famous period of Italian art and the greatest periods of all the time. The Renaissance was called the Middle Ages, meaning an inconsiderable time between the two imperial periods.

Art History: Renaissance Art and How it Borrows from Classical Art

Renaissance art is known for its heavy biblical themes dating from the early 1400s. However, in this paper, I will discuss how the Renaissance takes a more individualistic view of man's place on earth through the use of mathematical symbolism, psychological complexity, and perspective. I will begin with the significant underlining characteristics of the Renaissance and how they were a revolutionary development. This will then lead to examples of Classical art such as the Statue of Hercules and The Cameo Glass Skyphos. I will then discuss the French Revolution and European Neoclassicism and how the Renaissance created new techniques that drifted away from these movements. The paper will conclude with an analysis of The Last Supper and the Church of San Vitale and how they became the dominant style of art in Italy in the 16th century.

Hierarchy of the arts in Renaissance Italy

The purpose of my essay is to discuss the hierarchy of the arts in Renaissance Italy, examining critically two main sources: Leonardo Da Vinci’s Paragone: A Comparison of the Arts and Leon Battista Alberti’s De Pictura [On Painting] and De Statua [On Sculpture]. I will make a comparison between them, using secondary sources to provide a coherent historical context and to analyse critically three main topics: the relationship between poetry and painting, the debate on sculpture and painting, and finally a comparative discussion between poetry, painting and music.
