The High Renaissance and Mannerism
The Arts of the High Renaissance And Mannerism
Introduction : the High Renaissance painting sought a universal ideal achieved thorugh impressive themes and styles. Tricks of the perspective or stunning renditions of anatomy, stapples of the early Renaissance, no longer sufficed. the figure also emerged as types again, rather than individuals-godlike human being in the Greek classical tradition.
the Artists : MICHELANGELO
MICHELANGELO-DAVID
this nude champion exudes pent-up energy, as a body seems to exist merely as an earthly prison for the soul. the upper body moves downward from the right arm and leg, then upward along the left arm. the entire figure seeks to break free from its confinement through thrust and counter-thrust. much of the effect of the David- the bulging muscles, and exaggerated rib cage, heavy hair, undercut eye and frowning brow-result from the fact that these features were intended to be read from a distance. michelangelo originally planned the work to stand high above the ground on a buttress for Florence Cathedral.
politically, David symbolized the vailant Florentine Republic. it also stood for all of humanity, elevated to a new and superhuman power,beauty and grandeur. however, its revolutionary "total and triumphant nudity,".
inspired by the Hellenistic sculptures he had seen in Rome, Michelangelo set out in pursuit of an emotion-charged, heroic ideal. the scale musculature emotion and stunning beauty and power of those earlier works became a part of michelangelo's style. in contrast to the Hellenistic approach, in which the"body'acts'out the spirit's agony". David remains stable but tense.
