Abstract

This paper will discuss my knowledge with regards to the Religious Renaissance. This would enable me get hold on the topic and to make myself aware of all the issues that may arise in the future. Until the sixteenth century Western art different civilizations had happened without shock. Two figures come to embody the conflicting ideologies: Erasmus and Luther, the humanist and the prophet, the conciliator and the revolutionary. Italy was divided by these two forces. On an intellectual basis in Rome and Venice sensitive, Raphael and Titian define the laws of classicism, which makes the whole work to balance all its parts together, which causes it to attenuate the features and expression, born of this loss of equilibrium despair that haunts bodies and faces. But the prestige of Rome imposed the Renaissance, and Europe was in a dilemma, which was dodging the dreaded models of Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo and that this imposing Italianate, i.e. mannerism was moving the flamboyant Gothic. Just assimilated the Renaissance, Europe in a general review of the values , find a final maturity after a new crisis of growth, will allow the seventeenth century can become the century of gold in Europe. The Renaissance originated in Italy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, reaching its peak at the beginning of the sixteenth century. Italy slowly spreads to Europe except Russia. But the normal development of Renaissance culture is affected by the fact simultaneous religious strife resulting from the revolution Protestant. In order to collect the data with regards to the topic, secondary research will be conducted. Therefore, data will be retrieved from the online journals, websites on the Internet and e-books. Besides this, the studies of the previous researchers will also be examined.

Religious Renaissance

Background

When considering Giotto's mastery, the Padua frescoes are an appropriate point. He freezes his figures in linear compartments, while maintaining a sense of unthreatened space. It is inside this rectangular frame that Giotto achieves his trademark feeling of 'elastic' narrative. The composition moves and stops as the narrative progresses and pauses; its rhythms contract and expand, its masses rise, fall and incline as much in obedience to the requirements of the evolving story as to satisfy the plan of the individual picture. At the same time the figures and the events in their course respect the integrity of the surface, rarely taking the eye beyond the depth of the foremost plane. Thus there is no rivalry between background and figure.
