Renaissance Art Many Italian artists where from the early Renaissance.

In the Renaissance, there were more realistic images and sculptures, with

more detail, many oil panting to give better light effects and shadows, and

more realistic humans.

In the Renaissance there are more paintings of common, everyday people,

and we could see their outfits and their style.

Sculptures were very realistic with lots of details, like some of the ones

made by Bernini, which had realistic appearance of movement.

There were also images of religion, since Christianity was very important

in those times.

The worlds most famous painting The Mona Lisa, by Leonardo Da Vinci,has such detail that we cannot know whether she is smiling or she is

angry, its all up to the viewer.

Islamic Art

Very different from the Renaissance Art, not as realistic as it, not so manyuse of oil painting.

Light effects and shadows are not always very perceivable.

Islam religion is present in many of the paintings, as we can see a figurepraying kneeled down.

We can see their fashion style and their clothes which are very differentfrom what we see in other cultures.

There are several colors expressed, but the main ones in paintings arebrown, oranges and beige colors.

We can also see some mosaics which were very popular for the Islamic art,

showing figures that could be representative of something such asreligion.

We can also learn from all these paintings somehow the way they lived,and some of the animals they would domesticate or be in touch with.

Medieval Art

Most of the art was based on religion, it is very strong at that moment.

Not so many realistic effects involved on the paintings.

Art in the medieval era was reserved mostly for important people or

figures such as religion figures, we can see that by looking at all the saints

with halos and the Jesus images. Visible outfits, many images of the virgin with Jesus on its laps.

We can see more religion when we look at the images where the angels

are flying all over the place.

In this art there are not so many vivid colors, we can appreciate more pale

colors, since it was still a young era there were not so many sophisticatedtechnologies for painting, this gives the art a limited realistic effect.

Bernini

-Bernini had so many good sculptures that he

is now one of my personal favorites.

-Their sculptures had so many details that they

were amazingly realistic and appear to have

life.

-It shows movement as in the one in the lower

left, she is growing leafs and she looks as if she

was escaping towards the sky, there is action in

the sculptures.

-The ecstasy of St. Teresa is very famous and

caused many influence because it shows how a

saint and an angel are having passion, not verylikely to see in that era.

-Bernini has a style and a way of giving its

statues the feeling of life, action, and realistic

detail like no other.

Leonardo Da Vinci-Da Vinci has the most famous piece of art in the world, it is so

famous because of the lack of knowing what emotion she is feeling(Mona Lisa). Da Vinci erased off the gesture lines so we cannot see

her mood.

-Da Vinci was really into the human body, he wanted to know how

all the anatomy in the body worked to perfect his art.

-He had various designs of human structures and he studied them,

we can see in his anatomical drawings how he perfectioned thehuman structure.

-He had many realistic pieces of art, perfected the use of oil

painting and many of his paintings are in museums all over the

world.

Caravaggio

-Caravaggios paintings are really unique because he

shows a completely different image of religion and theportray of himself.

-He puts death of many important religious figures in

his very detailed oil paintings.

-Paintings are very realistic, great use of light and

shadow effects.

-He was very aggressive and killed many people in his

life.

-People wanted him death so he showed some of his

paintings as him as the bad, the coward or the dead

guy.

-His paintings show not just an image, but a complete

story full of agony, pain and suffering behind them.
