ARTH372 History Of Western Art

Week 7 Discussion

One of the major developments in the Proto Renaissance period, and one that will continue in the High Renaissance of the next century, was the artist’s interest in duplicating nature, to attempt a naturalistic visual representation of the world around them .  To not only look inward, but to actually observe nature.

Select one artwork from the Proto Renaissance, fully caption it with artist, title, date and location.

Explain how the artist has tried to recreate the natural world? 

What techniques has the artist used to create a sense of illusionistic space or depth?

And, finally do you think the Proto Renaissance artists are different than the artists and artisans that came before them?.  Include one other culture we have studied to contrast.
