by Pieter Bruegel connects these two artists over four hundred years of time. Pieter Bruegel the Elder was born sometime between 1525 and 1530. Originally a student of Pieter Coecke van Alost, he was later accepted into the Antwerp painters' guild in 1551. In 1563 he married Coecke's daughter, and they later had two children. Both children would prove to have their own artistic abilities and would carry on the painting tradition. Only six years after his marriage, he would be buried at the
A Comparison of Barna di Siena’s Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine and Rogier van der Weyden’s Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin and Child Development in art often follows two tracks: development over a period of time and also differences in regional development. Both changes are seen in the comparison of Barna di Siena’s Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine and Rogier van der Weyden’s Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin and Child.

The Life of Leonardo da Vinci Nineteenth century British biologist T.H. Huxley famously said, “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something (Quotes by…). This statement is reflective of the idea of a polymath, or the Renaissance man, that is, one whose expertise spans a significant variety of subjects and fields (Oxford Dictionaries). Leonardo da Vinci not only encapsulated this ideal but also ultimately was the model of the Renaissance man for centuries to follow. As many
painting, derived, in part, from both Flemish and Italian realism. Many of his earliest paintings show a strong naturalist bias, as does The Meal, which may have been his first work as an independent master after passing the examination of the Guild of Saint Luke. This painting belongs to the first of three categories—the bodegón, or kitchen piece, along with portraits and religious scenes—into which his youthful works, executed between about 1617 and 1623, may be placed. In his kitchen pieces, a few
ominous reminder that death and war is inevitable and indiscriminate of social class. Although The Triumph of Death was painted late in Bruegel’s artistic career it’s documented that he was registered in 1551 as a master with the Guild of Saint Luke, a prominent art guild founded by Pieter Coecke van Aelst in Antwerp, who is also believed to have been the artist Bruegel apprenticed under (Emile & Charles, p. 62). The work itself depicts
often served on the plantations of lords in exchange for food and shelter. There was no real middle class in this government; people were peasants, lords, or rulers. The first guilds were formed during this period; each of them consisted of a set of people with similar talents, such as the stonemason guild and wool guild. The roads were very small, the size of a footpath, and the city was surrounded by a fortified wall to protect the citizens. The people believed that Earth was a microcosm of the

He continued to work with his teacher even after he qualified for a membership as a major artist in Florence’s Guild of Saint Luke and established his own workshop at the age of 20. It is said that he painted part of the background and the young angel holding the robe of Jesus in the painting “Baptism of Christ” around 1475 to help his teacher.
remained throughout both styles was his exquisite combination of color and precision that harmonized figures and space. Johannes Vermeer was born in Delft, Holland in 1632. As a youth he was apprenticed to Carl Fabritus and in 1653 he entered the Guild of Saint Luke of Delft wherein he became director. Although art was his main focus, he was also an innkeeper and kept a tavern in the Market Square. This area was a very rowdy place to live and work, and Vermeer apparently enjoyed painting as an escape from
damned. Rubens’ workshop was open and he had pupils and assistants to help him. One of this assistants was Anthony Van Dyck, who became a Flemish Baroque artist. At this time many art works were created including two altarpieces that glorify the first saints of the Jesuit order, the “Miracles of St. Ignatius of Loyola” and the “Miracles of St. Francis Xavier”. In 1620 Rubens was commissioned to do a series of 39 ceiling paintings for the Jesuit Church of Antwerp. Unfortunately these were destroyed in
On April 15th, 1452, in Anchiano Italy, a man of many wonders was born, Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci. In Da Vinci’s(Leonardo Da Vinci) life, he truly did it all, he was a painter, sculptor, architect, inventor, military engineer and draftsman. Although there is not much to say about Leonardo’s early life, we do know that Da Vinci’s parents were not married when they had him. He was the out-of-wedlock son of the wealthy Messer Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci, a Florentine legal notary. On the
“Of all religious subjects, that of the Annunciation is closest to the artist as a Christian. The subject is described only by Luke, patron saint of painters, who was popularly believed to have been a master of their craft as well as a physician.”1 Flemish painting was founded in the Low Countries at the start of the fifteenth century. The Low Countries, consisting of what is now Belgium and Holland, as well as the provinces of Artois and Hainault, and the cities of Arras and Cambrai.2 “No other
Even God has said in Corinthians 14:33 says “for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints”.

In 1472, at the age of twenty, he was qualified as a master artist in the Guild at Saint Luke. His earliest known work is a drawing done in pen and ink of the Arno valley. According to Florentine court record, Leonardo was charged with sodomy, but was acquitted. In 1478, Leonardo set up his own studio. In 1481, he received a major commission
Who was Leonardo da Vinci? Was he an engineer? An architect? A scientist? Or was he just an artist? Da Vinci was all of the above and even more. He is the epitome of the term “Renaissance Man”. His ingenious inventions and thoughts paved the way for some of the more modernized tools we may us on a day-to-day basis, such as the bicycle, helicopter, and parachute. Leonardo’s work was not only famous during the Renaissance era, but the modern era as well. The impact da Vinci had on the Renaissance inspired
