15th-16th century Art | Sitemap

The 15th and 16th centuries saw the flowering of the Renaissance, a period of renewed interest in classical antiquity that emphasized humanism, naturalism, and the development of new artistic techniques.

It began in Italy and later spread throughout Europe, with distinct regional styles and priorities.

Key periods

The Early Renaissance (15th century)

Originating in Florence, the Early Renaissance, or Quattrocento, established the foundations for the later High Renaissance.

Masaccio (1401-1428): Credited with popularizing linear perspective and creating realistic figures with solidity and emotion.

Donatello (1386-1466): His bronze David was the first free-standing nude sculpture since antiquity, demonstrating classical influence.

Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510): Known for elegant mythological paintings like The Birth of Venus and Primavera.

Jan van Eyck (1390-1441): A pioneer of the Northern Renaissance who mastered oil painting and meticulous detail, as seen in The Arnolfini Portrait.

Romanticism | Art Story and Sitemap

Let's dive into the wonderfully evocative world of Romantic art!

Romantic art, flourishing roughly from the late 18th through the 19th centuries, is a fascinating and complex movement that fundamentally shifted focus away from Enlightenment ideals of reason and order towards a celebration of emotion, imagination, and the sublime.

Women Artists | Sitemap

"Someone, I say, will remember us in the future".

"Qualcuno, dico, si ricorderà di noi in futuro".

Saffo

The absence of women from the canon of Western art has been a subject of inquiry and reconsideration since the early 1970s.

Linda Nochlin's influential 1971 essay, "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" examined the social and institutional barriers that blocked most women from entering artistic professions throughout history, prompted a new focus on women artists, their art and experiences, and contributed inspiration to the Feminist art movement.

Skagen painters | Art History and Sitemap

The Skagen Painters (Danish: Skagensmalerne) were a group of Scandinavian artists who gathered in the village of Skagen, the northernmost part of Denmark, from the late 1870s until the turn of the century.

Skagen was a summer destination whose scenic nature, local milieu and social community attracted northern artists to paint en plein air, emulating the French Impressionists - though members of the Skagen colony were also influenced by Realist movements such as the Barbizon school.

They broke away from the rather rigid traditions of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, espousing the latest trends that they had learned in Paris.

Romanian Art History and Sitemap

Romanian art consists of the visual and plastic arts (including Romanian architecture, woodwork, textiles and ceramics) originating from the geographical area of Romania.

The production of art in Romania is as old as the Paleolithic, an example being a cave painting from the Cuciulat Cave (Sălaj County).

During the Neolithic, multiple cultures lived on the modern territory of Romania.

Their material culture included pottery and abstract clay statuettes decorated with geometric patterns.

These may give hints on the way these civilizations used to dress and maybe tattoo.

Scottish Art History and Sitemap

Scottish art is the body of visual art made in what is now Scotland, or about Scottish subjects, since prehistoric times.

It forms a distinctive tradition within European art, but the political union with England has led its partial subsumation in British art.

The earliest examples of art from what is now Scotland are highly decorated carved stone balls from the Neolithic period.

From the Bronze Age there are examples of carvings, including the first representations of objects, and cup and ring marks.
