Northern+Renaissance+Art

Please place your Northern Renaissance Artists project here: Johnny Bohné Architect: Giottto DiBondone Description: Giotto's Campanile (which means bell tower in italian) is a very significant renaissance architectural piece. It is on of the most prominent Florentine pieces of Gothic Architecture. It stands at 277ft. tall and is supported by a base of four flying buttresses.The Campanile has seven bells and tells many stories. The hexagonal panels on the lower level explain the history of mankind. It shows adam and eve and then the roots of creative arts. On the next level there were depictions of the planets, pictures of the virtues, and the seven sacraments. Also pictured is the seven liberal arts. Going up and up there is more and more pictures to help tell stories. Location: This Campanile is located in Florence, Italy Year Made: Work started in 1334 but Giotto kicked the bucket in 1337 so he only completed the first two levels. Francesco Talenti finished the piece between 1450 and 1459. In addition each of the seven bells were added separately in many years to come. Renaissance Significance: This was obviously an early renaissance piece for two obvious reasons. A: The tower was covered in picture stories from many different sects of academia, so the want to learn is quite apparent. B: Within "A" we can derive that this is an early renaissance piece by seeing that the stories were depicted in pictures rather than words. If it had been written out, a high literacy rate would need to be present within the audience. So, since in the early stages of the renaissance, few people were literate, and artist could spread his/her message far more effectively with pictures.

"Children's Games" by Pieter Bruegel the Elder

"Children's Games" is an oil painting completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1560. Pieter Bruegel was the most important Flemish painter of the 16th century. He was patronized by the Hapsburg court but never worked for the court. Also, he never did work for the Church. It is unknown who commissioned him to do this painting. This painting is an example of early Northern Renaissance art because it displays perspective, love of nature, and youthfulness. It shows almost 200 peasant children playing 80 different games. Most of the children are dressed in red and blue clothing. The painting is very detailed but the children look two dimensional because no shadowing is used. This work of art examines humanism and wit in a playful manner. This painting is significant because it shows what playtime was like for 16th century peasant children. Little is known about the artist except that he was well educated and preoccupied with folk customs and the daily life of humble people. Although he traveled through Italy, he painted in Antwerp and Brussels. "Children's Games" is on display at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. Forman-Brunell, Miriam.

Alyssa Palsis Pieter Bruegel Tower of Babel

The famous painting the “Tower of Babel” was painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Many considered Bruegel the best Flemish painter of the sixteenth century. He was not only a very talented painter, but a leading Antwerp artist, sculptor, designer of tapestry, architect, and stained glass. His marriage in Brussels, into the van Aelst family, led Bruegel to paint mostly landscapes and scenes of peasant life, he would paint with harsh feelings, and much detail. Bruegel painted the Tower of Babel, an oil painting, on an oak panel. Bruegel didn’t stop on just one version, he continued to paint two more, two on panels, and one on ivory painted in Rome, which is now is lost. The other two versions of the painting show the construction of the tower. “Tower of Babel”, in Vienna, is signed and dated in 1563. This version is supposed to relate to the Genesis 11:1-9 Bible story in which “God confounds the people who sought to build a tower whose top may reach heaven.” The painting shows, a harbor scene, where sailing vessels are waiting to be unloaded, in the background you can see farm and forest landscape in the distance. In the center, drawing the most attention is the huge tower where a ton of teeny tiny, laborers are focused on the construction. Critics of the 16th century, say it is an “example of “pride punished” or “an emblem of the absurd world” and the “inadequacy of human deeds.” The tower is also a symbol of the uneasiness of the Catholic Church and the Lutheran Protestant religion, of the Netherlands. Even though Bruegels painting, relates much to the biblical story, many parts don’t fit together. The landscape and the construction work in the painting, do not match what’s spoken of in the Bible. The Little Tower of Babel, which is the second version of the oil painting on the panel, was also created in 1563. Just like the other version, it is depicted as Bible story of the Old Testament. “The Little Tower of Babble” is now kept in a museum in Boymans-van Beunigen, Rotterdam. Pieter Bruegel’s work was so important to Reniassance art, because unlike all the other Italian painters of his time, whose paintings were dull, and mythological, his paintings were both more realistic, detailed, and story telling.

PAul GLEIch **Pieter Bruegel: //Peasant Wedding//** Pieter Bruegel, Also known as Pieter the Elder, was generally considered the greatest Flemish painter of the 16th century. He was accepted as a master in the Antwerp painters’ guild in 1551. Bruegel painted the //Peasant Wedding// in 1568 with oil paint on wood canvas. It depicted a simple peasant wedding with simple food like grain and bread and simple tools like wooden utensil showing that the peasants had nothing because they just became free from serfdom. This piece is a good example of Renaissance artwork because it has bright colors and includes oil paints which were developed by flemish painters during this time. It also depicts regular humans having a good time which shows the idea of humanism which was developed at this time. This magnificent piece of priceless art is now being displayed at Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria info from: http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/ pic from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pieter_Bruegel_d._Ä._011b.jpg

Caitlin Dexter The Praying Hands by Albrecht Durer

 The Praying Hands is by Albrecht Durer. Albrecht Durer first became an artist after his brother’s death. Both Albrecht and his brother Albert wanted to become artists but could not afford for both of them to. They flipped a coin and Albrecht won, allowing him to go to an academy Nuremburg. For four years while Albrecht was studying in Nuremburg, his brother Albert was working in the coal mines to support him. When Albrecht returned from Nuremburg and was a successful artist, he told Albert to go to the academy and Albrecht would support him. Albert told him that he couldn’t paint anymore because coaling for four years had ruined his hands. In his honor, Albrecht painted a picture of his brother’s broken, abused hands in what is now known as the Praying Hands. The painting was commissioned by Jacob Heller for a church in Frankfurt. It was sketched in 1508 and took 13 months to finish the painting. Durer wanted to make it so “that it will remain bright and fresh for five hundred years.” The original painting was destroyed in a fire in Munich. Praying Hands is an example of Renaissance art because it shows anatomy, religion, and perspective. It was also painted in oil paints which weren’t used until the Renaissance. Sources:

**__ Garden of Earthly Delights- Hieronymus Bosch __** === The Garden of Earthly Delights was painted by Hieronymus Bosch. This is his most famous painting. This painting has multiple panels put together to make the big picture. The middle panel has to do with sex and how lust is man’s downfall in life. The left side of the panel is meant to represent the Garden of Eden and the right side represents Hell. This painting also represents sin coming into our lives. This picture is filled with naked people doing bizarre, distorted things.This was probably painted somewhere between 1503- 1504 C by using oil on wood. The Garden of Earthly Delights is now held at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. This painting is a representation of renaissance art because it has many of the characteristics of renaissance art, such as: anatomy, perspective, and love of nature. ===

- By Albrecht Durer, based off of a written description and a brief sketch of a rhino by an unknown artist - The rhinoceros was originally drawn in pen and ink twice, then made into a woodcut - “The Rhinoceros” was created in Nuremberg, but is located today in The British Museum, in London - It was made in 1515 - This piece was made, and drawn realistically, without Durer ever seeing an actual rhinoceros in real life. Rhinos were very rare, and after one was brought through Lisbon in 1515, Durer saw a written description and a non detailed sketch of the rhino from which he made his piece - The Rhinoceros is an example of Renaissance art because Albrecht Durer was the first non-Italian artist to use humanistic aspects in his art - The Rhinoceros is significant because although it does not fully depict a rhinoceros accurately, it was regarded as an extraordinary work of art, and it was reproduced in many natural history books until the 19th century. Also, it is said that no other animal drawing has ever influenced art as greatly as “The Rhinoceros” __Sources: __ []

Hubert van Eyck is the brother to Jan Van Eyck and is rumored to have started the painting but died before he was able to finish, so Jan finished the painting. The altarpiece consists of 24 different panels.

The left and right wings of the piece open up to reveal more panels on the inside. The panels on the inside top left show Cain and able making a sacrifice to God. And on the top right Cain is shown murdering Abel.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Below those panels are Adam on the left and Eve on the right. The three centered panels show The Virgin Mary on the left, John the Baptist on the left, and possibly God the Father, or Jesus Christ in the middle. On the bottom of this panel shows the Adoration of the Lamb. Apostles, martyrs, prophets, and angels are all gathered around the lamb centered in the middle panel.

This piece is an oil painting and depicts different stories from the Bible. Jan Van Eyck uses different symbolism and details to tell the stories that are essential to the Christian Faith. For example on the outside panels in the middle rows, the Angel Gabriel and Virgin Mary are shown. Words are coming from Mary’s mouth, Eyck wrote these words backwards and upside down; to symbolize speaking back, and the words are upside down because it is assumed she Eyck was depicting her talking to God.

This piece is a perfect example of the Northern Renaissance art. Jan Van Eyck paid extremely close attention to detail, and even down to the wrinkles on the Vijdts hands on the outside, lower left corner panel. Because this was an oil painting Van Eyck was able to use more textures and depth in his painting than is found in Italian Renaissance paintings.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This Altar Piece is mostly widely known for it’s thefts. The Altarpiece was first dismantled in 1566 to save it from Protestant militants, several of the panels were then stolen and sold. These panels were all eventually recovered in a museum in Berlin. The piece was fully reunited with all the panels, but in 1934 during WWI the lower left panel was filched and has never since been recovered. The Altarpiece was the stolen by the Nazis during WWII. The piece was recovered from an Austrian salt mine before any harm could come to it. Some skeptics believed that since the restoration of the panel was done so beautifully that it was in fact the original, but some restoration and examination work last year disproved this theory.This piece is crucial in our understanding the art from the Northern Renaissance as it was a miracle that a piece 11 and a half feet tall and seven feet wide could have made it in such good condition through all those robberies and hostile transportings. This piece also give such a feel of how important art was in the church and even a merchant would commission an art piece for his chapel.

 * //The Arnolfini Wedding by Jan van Eyck//**
 * Painted by Jan van Eyck around 1434, he was asked to paint this portrait by Giovanni Arnolfini, the man on the left. Arnolfini had asked him to paint this portrait because in those days, portraits gave authenticity to marriages, and this portrait legitimized his wedding. Also, this portrait gives deeper meaning then to just symbolize the wedding. First, there are oranges in the photo, which were not native to Brogues, the Flemish city in which the piece was created; they had to be imported from Spain which signifies the couple’s wealth. Also, if you look closely at the mirror, you can see the reflections of other humans in the background, maybe witnesses to the wedding. This painting was created with oils, but was not the norm at the time, because most did not know how to use oils in paintings. Although he was not the first to use oils, Eyck quickly became adept in his use of them. As I said, the painting was created in Brouges, Belgian-Netherlands, and now resides in the London Art Gallery in London, England. The //Arnolfini Marriage// by Jan van Eyck is a somewhat odd piece of Northern Renaissance art, but nonetheless great, only because the Northern Renaissance was more religious, but in this photo, it suggests that marriage can now take place in one’s home, rather than in a church. This portrait however does give great illusionism, and is a step toward creating more vivid, and “lifelike” paintings.**

Adeline M. Hieronymus Bosch – Haywain Triptych Northern Renaissance Born: 1450 Buried: August 9, 1516 Birth Place: Hertogenbosch Hieronymus Bosch was a Dutch painter. He is renowned for his many triptychs, many of which he signed many of his paintings “Bosch” pronounced “boss”, after where he was born. His birth name is Jeroen Anthoniszoon van Aken. Not much is known about his life, he had three brothers who were also painters. His work and his brothers’ works were commissioned by a wealthy organization called the Brotherhood of the Holy Virgin. They commissioned many other artists paintings as well. The fist panel of the Haywain depicts the paradise and the creation of Adam and Eve. It also shows rebel angels being cast out of heaven to the earth and turned into insects. The middle panel shows Christ looking down from the heavens at the worlds sins below him.”And finally the right panel shows Hell and people being tortured by demons and more. The outside panels are titled “the path of life. This triptych by Hieronymus is very similar to another triptych of his called “Garden of Earthly Delights”. The Haywain is a great example of Northern renaissance art because it was so different that the predominant Italian Renaissance art at the time. It shows Hieronymus’s ideas of creation, heaven, hell, and the repercussions of sin and more. The painting is produced with oil on wood panels. It was painted in Museo del Padro, Madrid, Spain, sometime after 1510. The painting can be found in the Madrid Padro Museum. Some of his other famous paintings include these and very many more: Triptychs: (comprised of three panels.)
