Conclusion

The Renaissance meant a massive change in

all of Europe. We will outline the characteristics
of the same: the return to Greco-Roman culture,
the city of Florence as the cradle of
Renaissance, the prominent figures such as
Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Titian and art
Renaissance. The most significant discoveries
important such as the Printing Press, the development of
the new science in the hands of Nicolás
Copernicus, 'reason' as a premise
fundamental and the transition from theocentrism to
anthropocentrism.
Introduction

The broad process that we call

The Renaissance is the historical and artistic period.
that develops during the 15th and 16th centuries,
known primarily for Italian art of
that time, the Quattrocento and the
Five hundred.

During the Renaissance period, there are produced

a series of fundamental changes in culture and
the society that marks the passage of the Age
Media in the Modern Age, of the old culture
medieval theocentrism to a new order
profan intellectual, centered on man and the
nature, although always in a sphere
cultural purely Cristiano.

Over the years, an event takes place

deep cultural renewal in Europe in the
that Antiquity is the absolute reference.
But this reference does not implicitly carry a
uniformity across Europe, the different
creator centers develop languages
particulars, as occurs in the Spanish case.
Renaissance art

Historically, the Renaissance originated

in the age of discoveries
geographical and overseas conquests.
The Renaissance began in Italy in the
s. XIV and spread throughout the rest of Europe
during the 15th and 16th centuries. In this
period, the fragmented feudal society of
the Middle Ages, characterized by a
basically agricultural economy and a life
cultural and intellectual dominated by the
church, turned into a society
dominated progressively for
centralized political institutions, with
an urban and mercantile economy, in which
the patronage of the
education, of the arts and of music. The
disintegration of Christianity and the
development of nationalisms, the
introduction of the printing press, between 1460 and
1480, and the subsequent diffusion of the
culture.
Humanism

Humanism is a movement
European intellectual, philosophical, and cultural
closely linked to the Renaissance whose
origin is located in the 14th century in
the peninsula Italics (especially
in Florence, Rome, and Venice in
personalities like Dante
Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch and Giovanni
Boccaccio. They seek the Classical Antiquity and
revives the ancient Greek humanism of
golden age and maintains its hegemony in
a good part of Europe until the end of the century
XVI, when it began to transform and
diversifying at the mercy of changes
spirituals provoked by evolution
social e ideological from Europe,
fundamentally when colluding with the
principles advocated by
the reforms (Lutheran, Calvinist, etc.).
Architecture of the Quattrocento

The Quattrocento (term what

in Italian means four hundred, because of the
years belonging to the 15th century) is one of
the most important periods of
European artistic panorama. It is located at
throughout the fifteenth century and is the first
phase movement known
like Renaissance.

In this era, the figure of the artist appears.

creator at the expense of anonymity.
The master's workshop arises, which is who
receives the clients' orders. This
it could be syndicated as the
birth of the author category. The
man is God's most perfect creation. He
paint the human figure independently
of what it represents.

 Architecture of the Fifteenth century

The Cinquecento (abbreviated, the years [one thousand]

five hundred in Italian) is a period within
from European art, especially Italian,
corresponding to the century XVI. If

from medieval theocentrism to anthropocentrism
a humanist of the Modern Age; and
stylistically through the search for the
artistic forms of classical antiquity and
the imitation (mimesis) of nature, the
what has been called the Renaissance.
It consists of two phases: it begins with the
called Alto Renaissance (last
years of the 15th century and the first decades of the
16th century), and ends with the
called Low
Renaissance or Mannerism.

Sculpture of the Quattrocento

The first artistic manifestations of

Renaissance, at the beginning of the century
XV, take place in the field of sculpture.
Three Florentine goldsmiths made
some innovations that represented a
break with the conventions of style
Gothic. The first was Filippo Brunelleschi,
precursor of linear perspective.
Converted into an architect, he was the first
constructor of the Renaissance. He designed the
enormous octagonal dome of the cathedral of
Florence, completed in the year 1436, for
what studied architecture in depth
classical, especially the colossal pantheon
by Agrippa. This dome is considered
as a feat both from the point of
artistic view similar to that of engineering
since the times of the Romans.
Brunelleschi, who studied in Rome, was the
responsible for this classic resurgence in the
architecture. Introduced new formulas of
rationalization of space applied to both
to public constructions such as
privates that became unique
within the Renaissance style.
.
Sculpture of the sixteenth century

At the beginning of the 15th century in Italy both the

scholars like artists began to
to be interested in the classical past; this
led to the renaissance-revival of
classical culture (see Renaissance
(art and architecture)). Lorenzo Ghiberti
made two bronze doors for the
Florence baptistery; in both it results
evident his knowledge of sculpture
ancient. The Gateway of Paradise (1425-1452)
also demonstrates his mastery of the laws of
the perspective, which had been codified from
mathematical form not long ago.
There was also a great interest in the
large free-standing statues and
Ghiberti, Nanni di Banco, and Donatello
they made monumental figures of saints,
that were placed in the niches of the
walls of Orsanmichele, oratory of the
guilds of Florence.

Renaissance painting

The term renaissance describes the

cultural revolution of the 15th and 16th centuries
originated in Italy by the awakening of
interest in classical culture and for a
strong trust in individualism. See
Renaissance (art and architecture). It
continued to pay homage to the achievements of the
antiquity, but at the same time it
it produced an intellectual reactivation and
cultural. For example, around 1427,
Masaccio, one of the great innovators
of the period³ was carried out in the chapel
Brancacci of the church of Santa María del
Carmen, in Florence, a notable series
of fresh ones that reveal their attentive
observation of human behavior,
while demonstrating their knowledge
of ancient art. In The Expulsion of the
Paradise, your Adam and Eve are really
embarrassed; Eva's stance.
Renaissance painting of the quattrocento

The first great painter of the Renaissance

Italian was Masaccio, creator of a new
concept of naturalism and expressiveness in
the figures, as well as the perspective
linear and aerial. His painting is realistic, sober.
and clearly defined, and it progresses in almost
one hundred years in the grand manner of the
painters of the 16th century. Although it had
a short career (died at the age of 27
years) the work of Masaccio had a huge
repercussion in the course of later art.
The frescoes (c. 1427) that represent
episodes from the life of Saint Peter painted
for the Brancacci chapel in the church of
Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence,
they show the revolutionary character of their
work, especially concerning the
use of light. In one of the scenes
most famous, The tribute of the coin,
Masaccio reinterprets the figures of Christ and of
the apostles with a new sense of
dignity, monumentality, and refinement.

Objective

We use the word ¶rebirth· for

referring to a historical period, and about
artistic endeavor, characterized by the attempt
to recover the essence of the
classical Greek and Roman civilizations.
It began in Italy in the 14th century, and it
spread throughout the rest of Europe during the
15th and 16th centuries. Although the Renaissance is
a basically European period, the
Spanish presence in America made
possible that it could also extend to this
continent.
Did you know that the sculpture of David that was made
Donatello in the 15th century was the first
life-size nude from the
antiquity?
The Renaissance was above all a
urban phenomenon. It was born in some
cities of central and northern Italy,
like Florence, Ferrara, Milan, and Venice,
whose wealth allowed financing the activity
of the Renaissance artists.
