INSIGHTS
Renaissance art, for us, was by far the greatest era for the world of art. It was eternally preserved by being practiced by today’s era of artists, trained or not trained. Also, we have observed that architectural feats of the past were being based in some of the structures still standing or being built today, like the Cebu City Capitol, which embraced the principle of Rational Symmetry due to the design of the dome and the inner parts. The White House was no exception as well. With regards with the paintings, we have observed that some of the paintings made in the past were being based in creating great masterpieces today, like Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, which remained the most popular painting of all time. As with the sculptures, although we could not find any, but we know that these methods will be preserved and passed down from generation to generation.
