Lesson 3: Art of the Renaissance : 1400’s
Sister wendy #3
Masaccio, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Masaccio
byname of Tommaso di Giovanni di Simone Cassai, (born December 21, 1401, Castel San Giovanni [now San Giovanni Valdarno, near Florence, Italy]—died autumn 1428, Rome), important Florentine painter of the early Renaissance whose frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence (c. 1427) remained influential throughout the Renaissance. In the span of only six years, Masaccio radically transformed Florentine painting. His art eventually helped create many of the major conceptual and stylistic foundations of Western painting. Seldom has such a brief life been so important to the history of art.
Masolino’s figures are dainty, wiry, and elegant, while Masaccio’s are highly dramatic, volumetric, and expansive. The shapes of Masaccio’s Adam and Eve are constructed not with line but with strongly differentiated areas of light and dark that give them a pronounced three-dimensional sense of relief. Masolino’s figures appear fantastic, while Masaccio’s seem to exist within the world of the spectator illuminated by natural light. The expressive movements and gestures that Masaccio gives to Adam and Eve powerfully convey their anguish at being expelled from the Garden of Eden and add a psychological dimension to the impressive physical realism of these figures.
The boldness of conception and execution—the paint is applied in sweeping, form-creating bold slashes—of the Expulsion of Adam and Eve marks all of Masaccio’s frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel.
Sandro Botticelli, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sandro-Botticelli
original name Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, (born 1445, Florence [Italy]—died May 17, 1510, Florence), one of the greatest painters of the Florentine Renaissance. His The Birth of Venus and Primavera are often said to epitomize for modern viewers the spirit of the Renaissance.
The birth of venus (above)

The Primavera and The Birth of Venus contain some of the most sensuously beautiful nudes and semi-nudes painted during the Renaissance.

Andrea Mantegna,
paduan school movement
(born 1431, Isola di Cartura [near Vicenza], Republic of Venice [Italy]—died September 13, 1506, Mantua), painter and engraver, the first fully Renaissance artist of northern Italy. His best known surviving work is the Camera degli Sposi (“Room of the Bride and Groom”), or Camera Picta (“Painted Room”) (1474), in the Palazzo Ducale of Mantua, for which he developed a self-consistent illusion of a total environment. Mantegna’s other principal works include the Ovetari Chapel frescoes (1448–55) in the Eremitani Church in Padua and the Triumph of Caesar (begun c. 1486), the pinnacle of his late style.
Arrival of Cardinal Francesco Gonzaga, fresco by Andrea Mantegna, completed 1474; in the Camera degli Sposi, Palazzo Ducale, Mantua, Italy.
Leonardo da Vinci,
(Italian: “Leonardo from Vinci”) (born April 15, 1452, Anchiano, near Vinci, Republic of Florence [Italy]—died May 2, 1519, Cloux [now Clos-Lucé], France), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose skill and intelligence, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. His Last Supper (1495–98) and Mona Lisa (c. 1503–19) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance. His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of their time.

Michelangelo,
in full Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, (born March 6, 1475, Caprese, Republic of Florence [Italy]—died February 18, 1564, Rome, Papal States), Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, and poet who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Michelangelo was considered the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and ever since then he has been held to be one of the greatest artists of all time. A number of his works in painting, sculpture, and architecture rank among the most famous in existence. Although the frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (pictured)

Minerva protects Pax and Mars' was painted by Sir Peter Paul Rubens for King Charles I of England. Ruben gave the king this picture whilst acting as an envoy of Philip IV of Spain in 1603. England and Spain had been at war for five years, and both countries were keen for peace. The painted scene is an allegory, representing a clear moral narrative- Minerva, goddess of wisdom, is protecting Pax (Peace) and Ceres (goddess of the earth) from Mars (the god of war). This print is colour matched to the original painting and approved by the National Gallery.

The art of Jacques Louis David embodies the style known as Neoclassicism, which flourished in France during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. David championed a style of rigorous contours, sculpted forms, and polished surfaces; history paintings, such as his Lictors Bringing Brutus the Bodies of His Sons (Musée du Louvre, Paris) of 1789, were intended as moral exemplars. He painted in the service of royalty, radical revolutionaries, and an emperor; although his political allegiances shifted, he remained faithful to the tenets of Neoclassicism, which he transmitted to a generation of students, including Anne Louis Girodet-Trioson, François Gérard, Antoine Jean Gros, and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. - Met Museum https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/jldv/hd_jldv.htm

The Life of Pablo Picasso
The life of Picasso is a fascinating thing to learn about. You will see a lot of his paintings but, people don’t know a lot about his life unless you research about him. His family went through ups and downs
The Personal Life of Pablo Picasso.
Picasso was the firstborn to his family. His mother was María Picasso y López, and his father was Don José Ruiz y Blasco. Picasso had two younger sisters named Lola Picasso and Conchita Picasso. Lola was 3 years younger than Pablo, however, Conchita was 6 years younger than Pablo. The Picasso family lived in Malaga, Spain. One day Picasso painted over some of his father’s unfinished sketches of pigeons. His father realized after seeing his son’s techniques he would be surpassed by his 13-year-old son. The Picasso Family was traumatized after Conchita, Pablo’s youngest sister had died of Diphtheria. Pablo’s father was his educator before he went to school. The school picasso went to “Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.” When Picasso was older he married Olga Khokhlova. Pablo had 3 different partners as well. The names of the other partners are Marie-Therese Walter, Dora Maar and Francoise Gilot. His children are Paulo Picasso, Maya Widmaier-Picasso, Claude Picasso and Paloma Picasso. Pablo Picasso died on the 8 of April 1973. Picasso was 91 when he died.
The Art Life of Picasso
Picasso had many different art periods. The first one he had was the Blue period. The blue period was from 1901-1904. This period is when Pablo painted in blues and blue-green. The second period Picasso had was the rose period. The rose period was from 1904-1906. The rose period was when Picasso painted in colours that circus people would wear at the time. The next period Picasso had was African art and primitivism. This period was from 1907-1909. This period was a period where Picasso took inspiration from the African people and art. Around the time of World War II Picasso did a painting of the bombing Guernica. The Germans were testing a bomb in a German town. One day the Nazis were investigating Picasso’s apartment when they found a copy of the Guernica. One of the Nazi members asked when looking at the painting “Did you do that?” In response Picasso said, “No, you did.”
The influence that Picasso had on the world.
Picasso had a big impact on the world. There was a stamp that had Picasso’s face on it. The stamp was used all over the world. Picasso was the first one to do abstract. Picasso’s art life has been made into a couple of movies. Many of Picasso’s paintings were kept off the market. When Picasso died he had no tax debts.

Paris, 1900s
Modern art
Picasso and Matisse = 2 greatest modern painters
Provence: Cezanne = father of modern art - used blocks of colors not lines to make up art
Picasso invented cubism (paint what the eye sees AND what the mind knows, all angles at once) , gave choice to reject beauty (demoiselles d’avignon)
Nice/cote d’azure: Matisse. Expressed emotion through colour. The Riffian. The beasts of the sea.
Kandinski - heard colours. The white border.
Mondrian (Dutch) - geometric, black lines, primary colours. Order.
Surrealists:
Dream worlds
Salvidor Dali (Spanish) Persistence of Memory (melting clocks),
Rise of facsism
Paul Clay - Fished Magic.

Cézanne is known for his still life paintings–mostly of household objects arranged with various fruits. Cézanne would spend hours arranging the fruit and his moving his easel around to get just the right perspective. He was intensely interested in painting shapes: cylinders, spheres, cones and cubes. deepspacesparkle.com
