Content Background:

In this module, you will learn that:

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.

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.

1
Renaissance Period (1400-1600)
Renaissance was the period of economic progress. The period stirred
enthusiasm for the study of ancient philosophy and artistic values. Italian Renaissance
began in the late 14th century. It was an era of great artistic and intellectual
achievement with the birth of secular art. The focus was on realistic and humanistic
art. Renaissance art was characterized by accurate anatomy, scientific perspective,
and deeper landscape. Renaissance painters depicted real-life figures and their
sculptures were naturalistic portraits of human beings.
Architecture during this period was characterized by its symmetry and balance.

As the classical Greeks believed in the harmonious development of the person

through a sound mind, by the practice of athletics, the Renaissance held up the ideal
of the well-rounded man, knowledgeable in a number of fields such as philosophy,
science, arts, including painting and music – and who applies his knowledge to
productive and creative activity.

The Renaissance was a period of artistic experimentation. It brought man into

a full view just like the human figure in Greek Art.
Renaissance art marks the transition of Europe from the medieval period to the early
modern age. In many parts of Europe, Early Renaissance art was created in parallel
with Late Medieval art. By 1500, the Renaissance style prevailed.
The greatest cathedral building of the age was the rebuilding of St. Peter’s Basilica in
Rome.
It is important to know that Renaissance style of art laid more importance and
significance to the concept called perception. Perception is a concept of drawing that
made the three-dimensional look of the art piece possible. The buildings could nicely
fit into paintings. The artists created paintings in which two buildings can be spotted
adjacent to each other with the same vanishing point.

Another important feature of the Renaissance art is the incorporation of a

technique called as Sfumato. This is a wonderful technique by which you can create
a nice contrast between light and dark portions of a painting. You can find the Sfumato
technique nicely handled by da Vinci in his painting, ‘Mona Lisa’. Foreshortening is
another art technique employed by the Renaissance artists. According to this
technique, an object would appear smaller than it actually is. It is actually due to an
illusion. Another technique employed by the Renaissance artists is chiaroscuro. There
is not a big difference between sfumato and chiaroscuro techniques of Renaissance
style of art.

Famous Renaissance Artworks and Artists

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564)

Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet. He was

considered the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and ever since then he was
considered as one of the greatest artists of all time. A number of his works in paintings,
sculpture, and architecture rank among the famous in existence. Among his
outstanding works as sculptor were the following: Pieta, Bacchus, Moses, David,
Dying Slave, Dawn and Dusk. Two of his best known works, The Pieta and David,
were sculpted before he turned thirty.

He also created two of the most influential works in fresco in the history of
Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and the Last Judgment on the
altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.

“Pieta”by Michelangelo (Image from

Treasures of the World book, by
Golden Press,Inc.,Copyright 1961)
In Pieta, Michelangelo approached the subject which until then had been given
form mostly from north of the Alps, where the portrayal of pain had always been
connected with the idea of redemption as represented by the seated Madonna
holding Christ’s body in her arms. Michelangelo convinces himself and his spectators
of the divine quality and the significance of these figures by means of earthly and
perfect beauty, but of course, these are human standards.

3
Leonardo di ser Piero Da Vinci (1452- 1519)

Leonardo Da Vinci was a painter, architect, scientist, and mathematician. He

was popularized in present times through the novel and movie, “Da Vinci Code.” He is
known as the ultimate “Renaissance man” because of his intellect, interest, talent and
his expression of humanist and classical values. He is widely considered to be one of
the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person to
have ever lived.

His well-known works were: The Last Supper (the most reproduced religious
painting of all time), and the Mona Lisa (the most famous and most parodied portrait.)
His other works were: The Virtruvian Mar, The Adoration of the Magi, and the Virgin
of the Rocks. (Wikipedia)

“Mona Lisa” stems from a description by Renaissance art historian Giorgio

Vasari, who wrote, “Leonardo undertook to paint for Francesco del Giocondo the
portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife.” Mona, in Italian, is a polite form of address originating
as Madonna- similar to Ma’am, madamme, or My Lady in English. This became
Madonna and its contraction Mona. The title of the painting, though traditionally spelled
“Mona”, is also commonly spelled in Modern Italian as “Monna Lisa”

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (Raphael) (1483-1520)

Raphael was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance period.
His work was admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual
achievement of the interpreting the Divine and incorporating Christian doctrines.
Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he formed the traditional trinity of
great masters of that period. His main contributions to art were his unique
draftsmanship and compositional skills. His famous works were: The Sistine Madonna,
The School of Athens, and The Transfiguration.

“The Transfiguration” by
Raphael Image from Artist
Hideout

The Transfiguration was Raphael’s last painting on which he worked on up to

his death. Commissioned by Cardinal Giulio de Medici, the late Pope Clement VII, the
painting was conceived as an altarpiece for the Narbonne Cathedral in France. The
painting exemplifies Raphael’s development as an artist and the culmination of his
career. The subject is combined with an additional episode from the Gospel in the
lower part of the painting.

Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi (Donatello) (1386- 1466)

Donatello was one of the Italian great artists of the period. He was an early
Renaissance Italian sculptor from Florence. He is known for his work in bas- relief, a
form of shallow relief sculpture. His works included the following statues and relief:
David, Statue of St. George, Equestrian Monument of Gattamelata, Prophet Habacuc,
and The Feast of Herod.

 At the time it was created, it was the first known free-
standing nude statue produced since ancient times
Renaissance art is the art of calm and beauty. Its creations
are perfectthey reveal nothing forced or inhibited, uneasy or
agitated. Each form has been born easily, free and complete.
Everything breathes satisfaction, and we are surely not
mistaken in seeing in this heavenly calm and content the
highest artistic expression and spirit of that age.

Baroque Art (1600-1800)

The term Baroque was derived from the Portuguese word “barocco” which
means “irregularly shaped pearl or stone.” It describes a fairly complex idiom and
focuses on painting, sculpture, as well as architecture.

After the idealism of Renaissance, and the slightly forced nature of

“mannerism”, Baroque art above all reflects the tensions of the age notably the desire
of the Catholic Church in Rome to reassert itself in the wake of the Protestant
Reformation which is almost the same with Catholic- Reformation Art of the period.

Although always in conflict with the simple, clear, and geometric concepts of
classicism, the Baroque existed in varying degrees of intensity, from a simple
animated movement of lines and surfaces, to a rich and dynamic wealth.

Baroque was a period of artistic styles in exaggerated motion, drama, tension,

and grandeur. The style started in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe.

The Roman Catholic Church highly encouraged the Baroque style to propagate
Christianity while the aristocracy used Baroque style for architecture and arts to
impress visitors, express triumph, power, and control.

Baroque painting illustrated key elements of Catholic dogma, either directly in

Biblical works or indirectly in imaginary or symbolic work. The gestures are broader
than Mannerist gestures: less ambiguous, less arcane, and mysterious.

Baroque sculpture, typically larger than life size, is marked by a similar sense
of dynamic movement, along with an active use of space.

6
 Baroque architecture was designed to create spectacle and illusion. Thus the
straight lines of the Renaissance were replaced with flowing curves.

It is interesting to note that Baroque architecture encouraged the construction

of domes, colonnades, color effects and the like. The Augustusburg Palace near
Cologne is a wonderful example of Baroque architecture. Trevi Fountain in Rome is
another Baroque creation.
Baroque art is known to have four important characteristics. They are light,
realism and naturalism, lines and time. Baroque art boasts only one source of light,
namely, tenebrism. An example of this concept is the ‘Judith and the Maidservant with
Head of Holofernes’ by Artemisia Gentileschi.

Famous Baroque Artworks and Artists

Michelangelo Merisi or Amerighi da Caravaggio (1571- 1610)

He was better known as Caravaggio. He was an Italian artist who wanted to

deviate from the classical masters of the Renaissance. He was an outcast in his
society, because of his own actions and the lack of modesty and reverence for
religious subjects in his own paintings. Perhaps he started out as a specialist in his
paintings of still life, especially of fruits. Studies of single figures followed, but they are
clumsier than the fruit which gives their savor of originality and charm. Caravaggio’s
models at this period were either himself or young persons who have an air of being
promising but wicked. Among his famous paintings were: Supper at Emmaus,
Conversion of St. Paul, and Entombment of Christ.

7
Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680)

Bernini was an Italian artist and the first Baroque artist. He practiced
architecture, and sculpture, painting, stage design, and was also a playwright. He was
also the last in the list of the dazzling universal geniuses. As a prodigy, his first
artworks date from his 8th birthday. Among his early works were: The Goat Amalthea
with the Infant Jupiter and a Faun, Damned Soul, and the Blessed Soul. He made a
sculpture of “David” was for Cardinal Borghese which is strikingly different from
Michelangelo’s David because it shows the differences between Renaissance and the
Baroque periods.

He was the greatest Baroque sculptor and architect as seen in his design of the
Piazza San Pietro in front of the Basilica. It is one of his most innovative and successful
architectural designs. The famous “Ecstasy of St. Teresa” was his greatest
achievement and the Colonade of the Piazza of St. Peter’s Rome.

Peter Paul Rubens (1577- 1640)

Rubens was a Flemish Baroque painter. He was

well known for his paintings of mythical and figurative
subjects, landscapes, portraits, and Counter-
Reformation altarpieces. His commissioned works were
mostly religious subjects, history paintings of magical
creatures, and hunt scenes. His famous works were:
Samson and Delilah, Landscape with a Tower, Portrait of
Helene Fourment, and The Three Graces

8
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669)

Rembrandt was a brilliant Dutch realist, painter and etcher. He is generally

considered as one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art. He
followed no particular faith, but was interested in spiritual values and often chooses
religious subjects.

Rembrandt shares with Rubens the revolution whereby painting came to depict
the more personal aspects of the painter: his own home and his family. No artist has
painted himself as often as did Rembrandt. His concept of himself continued to deepen
in grasp and subtlety, while his technique grew more daring. His well- known work was
his “Self portrait in Old Age”. Rembrandt had produced over 600 paintings, nearly 400
etchings, and 2000 drawings.

Diego Velasquez (1599- 1660)

Velasquez of Spain developed out of the Baroque. He was one of the finest
masters of composition and one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden
Age. He worked out solutions to pictorial problems of design that transcend the style
of any period. Velasquez was the case of a painter who discovered his avocation
almost at the very start of his career. The passion for still life frequently emerges in
Velasquez’s art. His famous works were: The Surrender of Breda, Las Meninas (The
maids of honour), Los Barachos (The Drinker), and Maria Theresa He created this
work four year before his death and served as an outstanding example of the
European baroque period of art. Margaret Theresa, the eldest daughter of the new
Queen, appears to be the subject of Las Meninas but in looking at the various view

9
points of the painting, it was unclear as to who or what was the true subject; it maybe
the royal daughter or the painter himself.

Summary

Baroque aims to give an effect that wants to carry the viewers away with the
force of its impact. It gives not a generally enhanced vitality, but excitement, ecstasy,
and intoxication. Its impact was intended to be momentary, while that of the
Renaissance was slower but more enduring, making the viewers want to linger forever
in a presence.
The Baroque required broad, heavy, massive forms. Elegant proportions
disappeared and buildings tended to become heavier until sometimes the forms were
almost crushed by the pressure. The grace and lightness of the Renaissance were
gone; all forms became broader and heavier.

By the time St. Peter’s Basilica was completed, another architectural style was
developed by the architects who knew all the rules that had been so carefully
recovered and chose to break them. It was during this period, that the effect was of a
dynamic style of architecture in which the forms seem to take on life of their own,
moving, swaying, and undulating.

Many European cathedrals have Baroque features, high altars, facades, and
chapels.

Content Background:

Art forms in the Philippines are diverse. Western influences can

be seen in Philippine arts such as: painting, dancing, weaving, sculpting, and pottery.
In the 16th century, the Baroque style was carried by the Spanish and
Portuguese to the Philippines where it became the prominent style of building for large
and small churches.
Large Baroque churches often have a proportionally very wide facade which
seems to stretch between the towers.
During this time, the Spaniards used paintings as religious propaganda to
spread Catholicism throughout the Philippines. These paintings, appearing mostly on
church walls, featured religious figures in Catholic teachings.
The pre- colonial architecture of the Philippines consisted of nipa huts made
from natural materials. However, there are some traces of large- scale construction

16
 before the Spaniards came. An
example of this is the pre- colonial
walled city of Manila which was
dismantled by the Spaniards and
rebuilt as Intramuros with its houses,
churches, and fortress after the
Spanish colonization.
During three hundred years of
Spanish colonization, the Philippine
architecture was dominated by
Spanish influences.

17
 Arts as an expression
Visual art (a part of painting, sculpture or a poster) communicates in a way
which also gives the artists hardly any chance to explain to his audience exactly what
he actually means. In this manner, the artist convey the message and can only wish
that the piece of art work he/she generates is known. The piece of work was created
with inscriptions which indicate oneness of humanity no matter the religious
differences. It takes looking behind the picture, and sometimes its as hard as getting
an instagram password cracker. You have to be intricate at looking at the details, so
that the message will be communicated. That’s the power of art communication. You
will reflect as an audience what the artists wanted to convey in terms of mood, idea
and messages.

Many men and women let the attributes like color, forms, or the even the frames
to restrict them or keep taking a look at things in a work of art. A work of art being it a
sculpture or painting (regardless of how small or large) conveys certain message. In
ability to read the message may hinder communication and pushed on the artist’s

18
intention.
Additionally, communication in visual art is constant and ageless (transcending
intervals) such that one work of art like painting may successfully serve various
generations with various interpretations according to scenarios that suit the present
society’s demands. For instance, Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, has been written
about, such that the interpretations provided by the art historian authors of today are
not the same with responses of the writer on the work. The views held about an piece
of artwork keeps changing to suit interpretations of art to that generation. While others
are communicated, some messages aren’t readily understood. It’s required before
communication can occur, that you builds a relationship with a work of art by parts that
were seriously observing its components. The message in artwork will stay
uncommunicated against the change.

Baroque art and Renaissance art are two forms of art between which a key
difference can be discerned. Baroque art refers to a form of art that was originated in
Rome. Baroque art became popular for its complex and contradictory nature as well
as its ability to evoke emotion. Renaissance art was a combined influence of nature,
classical learning, and individuality of man. The key difference between these
two forms is that while Baroque art is characterized by ornate details, Renaissance
art is characterized by the fusion of Christianity and science in order to create realism
through art.

Learning Activity No. 1.

Pick one (1) of your favorite artwork from Renaissance and Baroque Period. Write a
short essay contemplating on what was the message or the idea in that artwork.

(Picture and Reflection may vary)

I personally like this sculpture among other artworks during renaissance period.
Aside from I really like Michel Angelo’s work, I like the idea of the sculpture. The
sculpture shows the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Christ after his crucifixion,
death, and removal from the cross, but before he was placed in the tomb. This is one
of the key events from the life of the Virgin, known as the Seven Sorrows of Mary,
which were the subject of Catholic devotional prayers.

The idea that the love of our parents especially our mother is immeasurable.
The first day that we are born our mothers taking care of us until their very last breath.
Michel Angelo perfectly shows the expression of sorrow and loneliness of Mary in his
artwork. You can notice the texture of the body and the cloth weaving around him.

The two churches are example of Baroque churches. The first picture is an
example of truly baroque church as it is located at the heart of Rome where baroque
style originated and widely spread. The second picture is the Façade of San
Agustine Church in Intramorous and it is considered as the oldest church in the
Philippines. It is an example of Baroque Church in the Philippines. As we noticed the
have similarities and differences. The two churches have the same structure as a
whole, the two-layer façade with decorative. The second picture tend to show more
details than the first one. It seems it is highly decorative showing the creativity of
Filipinos and influences of colonizers thru time.
