High Renaissance Art: Introduction
I chose High Renaissance art because the artwork in this period shows
real distinctive details and emotion.
I want to know why the human body was so inspirational to these artists.
I am interested in learning why this art period is called the rebirth of art .
High Renaissance Art: Introduction
• Renaissance Art was done in Europe from the late 1400’s to1600.
• Separated into three main categories: Early Renaissance, High Renaissance,
and Late Renaissance.
• Marked by “logical thought and the new philosophical, literary, and artistic
movement called humanism” (Frank, 2014, p. 279).
• Artists studied anatomy and “applied geometry to the logical construction of
implied space through linear perspective” (Frank, 2014, p. 281).
• High Renaissance was peak of Italian art from 1490 to 1530 (Frank, 2014).

INTRODUCTION
Christian sacred art was produced
in an attempt to illustrate,
supplement and portray in
tangible form the principles
of Christianity, though other
definitions are possible.
Religious art is a sacred art of
artistic imagery using religious
inspiration and motifs and is
often intended to uplift the mind
to the spiritual.
The sacred art involves the ritual
and cultic practices and practical
and operative aspects of the path
of the spiritual realization within
the artist’s religious tradition.
INTRODUCTION CONT’
Madonna, in Christian art is
portrayal of the Virgin Mary.
The term is generally limited
to those portrayals that are
reverential as opposed to
story and that demonstrate
her in a nonhistorical setting
and underline later doctrinal
or wistful importance.
The Madonna is joined
frequently by the baby
Christ, however there are a
few vital sorts that
demonstrate her alone
MADONNA
The subject of the Madonna
and Child was uncommon in
the principal hundreds of years
of early Christian
craftsmanship.
In 431, be that as it may, the
foundation of Mary’s title of
Theotokos (“Mother of God”)
completely attested the full
god of Christ.
From that point, to underscore
this idea, an enthroned
Madonna and Child were given
a conspicuous spot in
stupendous church
improvement.
MADONNA ART
One of the most punctual entirely
Western Madonna types is a standing
Gothic Madonna, a melodious picture
of the grinning Virgin and fun loving
Child, which was displayed on the
Byzantine and discovered its best
articulation in model in the thirteenth
century.
In the fourteenth century, painted
altarpieces ended up normal, the
Madonna enthroned, got from the
nikopoia, was a most loved subject
for a period.
It was especially mainstream in Italy
as the maestà, a formal portrayal of
the enthroned Madonna and Child
encompassed by holy messengers
and now and then holy people.
ITALIAN SACRA
Other Madonna types are
the Italian sacra
conversazione,.
These portrayes a formal
gathering of holy people
around the Madonna and
Child, and the northern
subjects of the Madonna of
the rose greenery enclosure.
This is a symbol of Mary’s
virginity, and the seven
distresses of Mary,
demonstrating seven
swords puncturing the
Virgin’s heart.
VIRGIN MARY
Three noteworthy Madonna types
appearing Virgin alone have
religious criticalness.
As the Madonna of benevolence,
which prospered in the fifteenth
century, the Virgin spreads her
mantle defensively over a
gathering of the dedicated.
The immaculate, which in the
seventeenth century underlined
her Immaculate Conception, or
interminable opportunity from
unique sin, demonstrates her as a
young lady plummeting from the
sky, upheld by a bow moon and
delegated by stars.
CONCLUSION
Most religious art have the
subject of the Madonna
endured a decrease in the
real expressions after the
seventeenth century.
Portrayals of the Madonna
and Child, be that as it may,
kept on being imperative in
famous craftsmanship into
the twentieth century, most
after sixteenth and
seventeenth century
models.
