« Quattrocento. Early Renaissance»- a presentation that will introduce the main achievements of the Early Renaissance in Italy. It is about three outstanding artists who are called the fathers of the Renaissance. These are the architect Brunelleschi, the sculptor Donatello and the painter Masaccio.

Quattrocento. Early Renaissance

Quattrocento. Early Renaissance

The year 1400 is called the Quattrocento in Italy. This is a very special time when the most powerful and the richest people competed for possession the best works art. Popes and dukes of the Italian city-republics sought to invite to their court best artists and poets. Florence is considered to be the cradle of the Italian Renaissance. The rulers of this city, the richest bankers of Europe, the Medici, became patrons, collecting famous artists at your yard.

The uniqueness of the Quattrocento era lies in the fact that art at that time became a universal means of knowledge. Discoveries were made in order to bring the image of objects closer to what is reflected in the mirror. It was the sculptor and architect Filippo Brunelleschi who was famous for discovering the laws of perspective, which were theoretically substantiated by the architect, mathematician, writer, philosopher Leon Batista Alberti, and in practice were used by Brunelleschi's friends, the painter Masaccio and the sculptor Donatello.

Filippo Brunelleschi

After an unsuccessful participation in the competition for the decoration of the doors of the Florentine baptistery, in which Lorenzo Ghiberti turned out to be the winner, Filippo Brunelleschi decided to go to Rome, where, together with his friend, the sculptor Donatello, he enthusiastically studied ancient monuments. Delight antique sculpture and architecture did not prevent Brunelleschi from creatively using his observations, which he embodied in a truly Renaissance building. The arcade of the Orphanage on Piazza Annunziata in Florence combined a Roman arch and a Greek column, this arcade looks light and very harmonious. Usually at the lesson I offered the guys to compare appearance Gothic cathedral and Brunelleschi's Orphanage in relation to human proportions. This helped to demonstrate the embodiment of the idea of ​​humanism in architecture.

But this film has not been translated into Russian, but this does not prevent us from understanding what a wonderful masterpiece Filippo Brunelleschi created.

Donatello

The discovery of linear perspective made by Brunelleschi, his friend Donatello put into practice, creating his beautiful Renaissance sculptures. Donatello for the first time after a thousand-year medieval ban on the image of the nude creates his own David. He revives the round sculpture, casts in bronze an equestrian monument to the condottiere Gattamelata, uses linear perspective when creating numerous reliefs. On the site you will find information about Donatello with many illustrations

Masaccio

A young friend of Donatello and Brunelleschi, the artist Masaccio, became a revolutionary in painting. Not even having lived for thirty years, this painter picked up and developed what Giotto had started back in the era of the Proto-Renaissance. Using the discovery of his friend Brunelleschi, Masaccio creates the image of the "Trinity" in perspective, so masterfully that those looking at this work had the illusion of real space. Masaccio uses portrait features for the first time real people when depicting saints and biblical characters. The figures on the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence are voluminous, thanks to the artist's masterful use of chiaroscuro.

You will find a continuation of the story about the Early Renaissance in Italy in the presentation
