ARTS OF THE RENAISSANCE AND

BAROQUE PERIODS

BEGIN

INTRODUCTION

The middle Ages was characterized by a certain kind of silence. It was during this
dark period in history that art was restricted and limited to the interest of religion. Art
was not permitted to speak of creative endeavors, unless these endeavors could
contribute to the greater glory of religion. Art was primarily an apparatus of the Church
and was considered as only secondary to spiritual pursuits.

The onset of the Renaissance brought a novel shift in the predominance of

religion over art. It was considered as a time of great artistic achievement and progress.
Following the accomplishment of the Renaissance was the Baroque period which
was characterized by exaggerated motion and clear-cut details exemplified in various
forms of art such as painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, dance, theatre, and
music. The Baroque style of art was part of the attempt of the Church to communicate
and express religious themes with direct emotional involvement in an effort to extend its
influence to the people and to stimulate the public’s faith in the Church.

YOUR TARGETS

At the end of this module, you should be able to:

1. analyze art elements and principle in the production of work following a specific
art style.

KEEP THIS IN MIND

Arts of the Renaissance Period covers artworks produced during the 14th, 15th
and 16th centuries in Europe. The word “renaissance” comes from the word, “renaitre”,
which means, “rebirth”. It pertains to arts, particularly in Italy, such as sculptures,
paintings, music, architecture, and literature. The most common subject of this period is
human philosophy. Famous artists of this era were Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci,
Raphael, and Donatello.

As an important period in history, the Renaissance marked a time of great

cultural emancipation and liberation of the arts, following centuries of artistic and
intellectual repression brought by the prevailing authority of religious discourses during
the medieval ages. The Renaissance artworks were characterized by different artworks
which centered on the revival of ancient forms and content. Christian theology, which
was once the main subject of art during the medieval ages, was replaced by the
growing interest and rediscovery of Greek and Roman literatures.

Delivery of the Keys, or Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Perugino, executed
in 1481–1482 and located in the Sistine Chapel, Rome.

The arts of the Baroque Period are more elaborate and full of emotion. They developed
in Europe around the 1600’s. This type of art form was highly encouraged by the
Catholic Church to propagate its dogma. Artists who were popular during this era were
Caravaggio, Rubens, Velasquez, Rembrandt, and Bernini.

In order to fulfill its propagandist role, Catholic-inspired Baroque art tended to be

large-scale works of public art, such as monumental wall-paintings and huge frescoes
for the ceilings and vaults of palaces and churches. Baroque painting illustrated key

elements of Catholic dogma, either directly in Biblical works or indirectly in mythological

or allegorical compositions. Along with this monumental, high-minded approach,
painters typically portrayed a strong sense of movement, using swirling spirals and
upward diagonals, and strong sumptuous colour schemes, in order to dazzle and
surprise. Brushwork is creamy and broad, often resulting in thick impasto. Baroque
sculpture, typically larger-than-life size, is marked by a similar sense of dynamic
movement, along with an active use of space. Baroque architecture was designed to
create spectacle and illusion. Thus the straight lines of the Renaissance were replaced
with flowing curves, while domes/roofs were enlarged, and interiors carefully
constructed to produce spectacular effects of light and shade.

Directions: Match the Elements and Principles of Art in Column A to its definition in
Column B. Write your answer on your activity notebook.

A B
1. Line
A. Terms such as foreground, middle
ground and ground are useful terms for
discussing this element

B. Terms used to describe the use of this element

might include: hue, saturation, intensity,
2. Color brightness, complementary, monochromatic.

3. Texture C. Without this principle, an artwork would be

nothing but a blank surface. It can come in
many forms (Texture, Color, Detail, Shape)

4. Contrast D. Has a single dimension, joining two points.

Terms to describe this element include
straight, contour, uneven, thick, thin,
gestural, vertical, diagonal and horizontal
E. Application of paint with a dry brush suggests
5. Space
roughness while heavy application of paint mixed
with impasto can create raised ridges of actual
texture.
