Assignment #3; Baroque art VS. Renaissance art


Baroque art and Renaissance artwork are two varieties of artwork among which a key distinction can be discerned. Baroque art refers to a form of artwork that turned into originated in Rome. Baroque artwork became famous for its complex and contradictory nature as well as its ability to awaken emotion. Renaissance art changed into a mixed impact of nature, classical learning, and individuality of guy. The important thing distinction among those two bureaucracy is that at the same time as Baroque art is characterized by using ornate information, Renaissance art is characterized by using the fusion of Christianity and science if you want to create realism through art.


The first painting “Madonna and Child” was created during the Renaissance period around 1457- 1504 by an Italian painter named Filippino Lippi. The painting was made of tempera, oil and gold on wood. This work reveals a woman named Virgin Mary who is taking a hold of a child named Jesus Christ. While the woman grabs onto him, the baby is also reading some sort of book that is describe as The Bible that exercises his mind. On top of the woman and child there appear to be round luminous circles and the background contain dark shadows and decent amount of detail. The artist also provides objects that includes textile such as a cassone, a small fruit, the candlestick and finally the outside window that can be seen with detailed landscape on left side. The colors in this painting are deeply rich with bright light seen on the left side and cool color that can be seen with in the cloths of Mary that brought more still life into this painting.


  
 The second is painting The Denial of Saint Peter was painted by an Italian painter name Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi) and was date it around 1570 -1610 during the Baroque period. The painting shows a man name Peter who denies knowing Jesus Christ. A woman accuses him of being one of the followers of Jesus Christ and soldier approaches while it seems that he is attempting to arrest peter. In this painting this shows a dramatic scene where we can see both the soldier and the woman are point fingers of exposing peter. Peter denies three time of knowing Jesus and also denies of being one of the followers. As we can see, peter looks confusing and unaware the existence and the relationship with Jesus. By doing so, peter hopefully that the soldier would believe him as Jesus himself foretold it. The painting was color by using oil paint and this allow to create a dramatic effect by introducing on bright and dark colors that provide the scene taken from a dark night. For example Highlight can be seen towered the left where the brightness of the solider armor gear can be seen on one side and the other side heavy shadow can be seen on the right where his body is swallowed up by the darkness by looking towards the woman and peter.
