culture of the Renaissance was typical of Central and Western Europe in the time period between the 14th and 16th century.During this period, the picture changed quite radically the world: it has found a place of humanism.Founded culture of the Renaissance was to antiquity.It is because of the fact that this was typical of the era to revive the tradition of the ancient world, it was called the Renaissance, or Renaissance.
Back in 13th century art was not peculiar to depict man in general (human form was only used for writing icons), it represents only the relationship of man to God, and in the abstract forms.The architecture of that time was characterized by Gothic elements and incorporeity.
But in the early 14th century art begins to change radically: N. Pisano change the style of architecture, and the artist Giotto di Bondone began to write a completely new style paintings: three-dimensional, more lively, cheerful, realistic, with clear targetssituation.
By the end of the 15th century Renaissance culture reaches its peak: many artists working in the new style, using the term in an attempt to portray the "perfect man."The architecture is no longer used as a fully Gothic style - to replace him comes the classic, which is based on the proportionality and balance.
Speaking directly about the painting, it should be said that the artistic culture of the Renaissance is divided into several periods: Early, High, and later Northern Renaissance.
classic example of the artistic culture of the Early Renaissance paintings are Sandro Batticheli.Such paintings as "The Birth of Venus," "Lamentation of Christ" and "Spring", not only did the artist's name immortal, but also became one of the first successful attempts to portray the beauty of the human body.
For High Renaissance peculiar image of a harmonious and free individual, sort of ideal.One of the most outstanding artists of the time was Leonardo da Vinci - with his name many people associate the culture of the Renaissance.
genius painter, musician, architect, anatomist, sculptor, engineer, poet, visionary - all we can say about it.Many of his sketch, but not of the invention are used in the modern world, and the enigmatic Mona Lisa still stirs the imagination of many.
for late Renaissance Mannerism is characterized not only affecting Venice.This period can be called the period of the decline of culture.
the Northern Renaissance art is related to the late Gothic.The most outstanding artists of the period were as follows: Hans Baldung, Hieronymus Bosch, Hans Holbein, Pieter Bruegel and Jan van Eyck.
musical culture of the Renaissance, and at the same time is related to the art of the Middle Ages, and is different from it.In Italy during the Renaissance period leading place still belongs motet, but already beginning to develop polyphonic singing, which allowed to complicate the music, making them more emotional and unusual.
Netherlands were able to significantly develop their musical traditions, creating a polyphonic school.Noteworthy it was that taught young musicians not only Dutch, but English, French and Italian traditions.
In France, paid attention to the music, not only in the form of church music, but also in the form of polyphonic secular song called chanson.
In Rome, as in the Netherlands, was founded polyphonic school.A feature of the Roman musical tradition has become a complex music and crisp, clear text.
Venice compositions were unusually lush and luxurious, but in England gained enormous popularity small pets musical compositions.
