Art Movements Throughout History
The Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement that began in Italy in the 14th century and lasted until the 17th century. It was characterized by a renewed interest in classical art and learning, and a focus on humanism, individualism, and realism. During this period, artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael emerged, and their works reflected the ideals of the Renaissance.
One of the defining features of Renaissance art was the use of linear perspective, which allowed artists to create the illusion of depth and space on a flat surface. This technique was pioneered by Filippo Brunelleschi, and was later refined by artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. Renaissance art also emphasized realism and naturalism, and depicted the human form in a more natural and anatomically correct way than previous periods.
The Renaissance had a profound impact on art and culture, and its influence can still be seen in contemporary art and design. Its emphasis on individualism, humanism, and realism paved the way for the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution, and its legacy continues to inspire artists and thinkers today.
