Introduction Art regulars during the 1300’s and 1600’s demanded art that displayed delight in human beauty and life’s enjoyment. Art from this period was more lifelike than art from the middle ages. The word renaissance was coined in during the 1800’s by the French, to show the level and angle of perspective and variations that artistes during this era used. Accordingly, the art pieces composed by these artistes portrayed depth in the feelings meant to be depicted by the observers (Stokstad, Michael and Asher, 2010, p. 38). The following paper reviews the categories of renaissance art within this era, based on the artistic trends, location, amongst other factor. 1. The Pre-Renaissance art Otherwise referred to as the Proto-renaissance, art that falls under this criterion started in a Northern closed society of the current state Italy, shortly after the twelfth century (Stokstad and Michael, 2009, p. 49). Art from this era did not originally stand for an uncultivated deviation from any other medieval art. The impact of art from this era is observed in the region it started. The opening area of Proto-renaissance art was stable enough to permit explorations in art to enhance the development of art. Proto-renaissance mainly took place in northern Italy, comprised of several small but important artistic modifications that stood for several congregating factors, and made way for early renaissance art. 2. Fifteenth-century Italian Art Commonly known as early renaissance art, fifteenth-century Italian Art was known for its artistic unsuitable behavior in the republic of Florence between 1417 and 1494. Majority of the art developed during this period originated from Florence due to several aspects that art from this period grasp... ... middle of paper ... ...and Michael, 2009, p. 109). Conclusion Renaissance art, as described by Stokstad and Cothren, was a great breakthrough engaging an alteration of artistes who came to occupy a diverse spot in the art society. Art was turning out to be more than jus a craft. This transformation was controlled by associations that stood for the significant trades within the region the arts were exhibited and sold. These skills used were transformed through three centuries that have been categorized by Stokstad and Cothren (Stokstad and Michael, 2009, p. 117). References Stokstad, M. and Michael, W. (2009).

...ed in the discovery and eventual colonization of North and South America. Painters, sculptors, and architects exhibited a similar sense of adventure and the desire for greater knowledge and new solutions; Leonardo da Vinci, like Christopher Columbus, discovered whole new worlds. With a new emphasis on the science, people like Philippo Brunelleschi were accomplishing great feats of artistic and architectural design. The new Renaissance “style” that emerged during this period called upon the classical roots of ancient Greece and Rome but new scientific understanding and a stronger emphasis on the individual also influenced the works created during this period.Bibliography Rice Jr., Eugene F.; Anthony Grafton.

In this paper I'm focusing mainly on Renaissance art work, since that was the assignment, but I feel it's important to also mention the other important parts of the Renaissance, architecture, science, politics and religion.

The Renaissance was a time of rebirth, as its name entails. In Italy, more people were becoming literate and more books were being printed. More scientific discoveries were being made and therefore more theories were being published. In this time of intellectual prosperity, art also made a great leap. Perspective was the main change during this time period, and throughout the years, starting around 1400, it became more involved and more intricate. Eventually artists were so adept at using it, that it became the primary way to insert intimacy and feelings of emotion into a painting. This evolution of technique paved the way for later artists to play with new approaches to allow the viewer to experience an image in different ways.

The Renaissance was the rebirth of Europe and it all started in the city of Florence. Florence and everything that made a standard Renaissance city: painters, sculptors, writers, architects, and a vivid culture. Soon all of Europe would follow in Florence’s footsteps and “the setting is so rich, varied, rambunctious, and inventive as Italy in the Renaissance” (Cohen 1). The painters and sculptors defined Renaissance culture and could actually make a living because they were being sponsored.
The Renaissance can be considered an artistic period between the end of the Middle Age and the start of the Modern Age. The cultural movement touched every part of Europe but its origin and development are in Florence. This period is a synonym, a symbol of “change” in all the aspect of the humankind: it is the celebration of
The shift between the Middle Ages and Renaissance was documented in art for future generations. It is because of the changes in art during this time that art historians today understand the historical placement and the socio-economic, political, and religious changes of the time. Art is a visual interpretation of one’s beliefs and way of life; it is through the art from these periods that we today understand exactly what was taking place and why it was happening. These shifts did not happen overnight, but instead changed gradually though years and years of art, and it is through them that we have record of some of the most important changes of historic times.
Art was viewed in a different sense in the fourteenth century. It had a more active role and was not just decoration, but a vital component of worship and pr...
