Role of the artist

  • Artists were sponsored by filthy rich men, the Pope, the Medici, etc.
  • The Renaissance man was expected to know about literature, arts, etc.
  • Noble families sent scouts in search for fresh talent they could exploit.
  • Artist were comissioned to paint their own thoughts and ideas.
  • For the first time in centuries, nobles gained an interest in beauty.

why were artist important?

  • They were the model of the renaissance man.
  • The point was to trascend and the ones who had talent like artists could.
  • They got their SWAG on.
  • The works of the artist help them to get some atention.
  • Filhy rich people paid them to make themselves look filthie and richer. 

Context of the erA

  • The Italian states during that time were at constant war with each other.
  • The Pope was the top authority and more of a politic than a priest.
  • There was an insane amount of money and bankers became FILTHY RICH.
  • Aristocracy turned their sights to the ideas of the classic world.
  • People suddenly gave more importance to their sole pleasure.              

Chiaroscuro

  • One of the most used techiques during Renaissance and Baroque.
  • Use of strong contrast between light and dark.
  • Used to draw attention to the important stuff.
  • One of the most important artists using this technique was Caravaggio.
  • One of the four canonical painting modes during the XVI century.

Sfumato

  • Term that comes from the Italian "sfumare" or to evaporate.
  • Leonardo da Vinci was the prime practitioner of this technique.
  • This style basically blurs the straight lines to create shades.
  • It adds a teeny tiny winy bit of Mystery to the paintings.
  • Particulary useful for the numerous shades found in the faces.

Cangiante

  • Comes from the Italian "cangiare" that means "to change".
  • Basically used when the painter was to lazy to create the right colour.
  • When a shade was not possible, the artist changed to another darker colour.
  • The greatest exposer of this (lazy) tecnique was Michelangelo.
  • You can clearly see this style in the Sistine Chapel.

Unione

  • The last (and least important) canonical Renaissance style.
  • It is kinda like sfumato, but not exactly like it.
  • Same crap as sfumato but with a more vivid colour.
  • Raphael was the most important artist that used it.
  • The Rapahel rooms are filled to the brim with Unione.

fresco

  • There are two main types of fresco, buon fresco and fresco secco.
  • Buon fresco is characterised for using a wet base of plaster.
  • Fresco secco is apllied directly to the wall so a binder is needed.
  • The Sistine Cahpel is done entirely on fresco.
  • This technique was used way before the Renaissance by Rome-
