    Disegno and Colore

    Painting in the 16th Century Venice was still caught up in a regional debate which pitted the idea of colore against the much more formal emphasis on disegno. This held sway in the rival Florence. By exploring this philosophical and provincial debate, I have drawn contrasts between the use of colour and outline in selected works by Michelangelo and Titian. I have also looked at to what extent are these attitudes to materials reflective of the social and spatial conditions in the two cities.…

    Applied Questions on Introduction to Music

    During the middle Ages, the Catholic Church was the sole contributor to musical development. The music of the early church was monophonic, and had nonmetric melodies set in one of the church modes, or scales. The rise or development of polyphony came about during the Renaissance period; the Council of Trent wanted polyphonic church music to be created and Palestrina composed the Pope Marcellus Mass, a six part vocal polyphonic song. In the Baroque period religious war broke out between Protestants vs. Catholics; these wars effected music and led to music having regular rhythms and continuous melodic expansion. By this time musical development has changed from having the Catholic church being the sole contributor to other musicians being on top; in fact church musicians were the lowest of the low with the except of Lutheran Church musicians. This shift from the Catholic Church to the Lutheran Church came from Martin Luther’s belief that everyone should be able to sing and praise God on their own. One well known Lutheran church musician was Johann Sebastian Bach, who was an organist as well as a composer. Bach composed about 300 sacred cantatas which served the thriving Lutheran Church.…

    Josquin Desprez And Jiovanni Palestrina

    The choir consisted of twenty-four male singers who sang in four parts soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. Six singers per part. The high voices were song either by men who could sing in the falsetto range. The “ideal” church music according to Catholic liturgical tradition was not be too humanistic and complex. To be able to hear the words clearly. If the church could hear the words so can God. The council made decisions about music. The two greatest composers were Josquin Desprez and Jiovanni Palestrina. Desprez was the greatest composer of the mid Renaissance. Josquin the music he sang influenced his own religious compositions. My reaction to this music is I heard this music before since I am catholic. Today, the Catholic Church has the same…

    Baroque Art: Protestant vs. Catholic

    This new visually intense form of expression took on very different characteristics in different regions of Europe, largely in part due to the topics covered at the Council of Trent. In Northern Europe and largely in the Netherlands, the Baroque movement took on a significantly non-secular undertone. This is a result of the predominance of the Protestant faith in this region. The advances in techniques are still noticeable in different examples of the Baroque era from Protestant artists, however due to the nature of the Protestant practice the messages are drastically different. Contrary to Catholics of the time, who worshiped in lavish sanctuaries with elaborate services for mass; Protestants experienced their faith internally. This meant that they enjoyed simple…

    Palestrina

    Written in 1567, the sound of the music and voices not only represent the glorification of God, but also corresponds to the other historical events happening in Italy at the time. For example, there were many architectural achievements, especially in Rome, in the 16th century. Look at the Basilica of Saint Peter, one of the four main Basilicas. First beginning construction in 1506, it was being built throughout the 1500’s. The St. Peter’s Basilica is to this day one of the largest Christian churches. While Palestrina was writing the Pope Marcellus Mass, the construction of this religious monument most likely influenced the sound of the piece. The Mass opens with a monophonic chant and more voices come in and turns into a heterophony. The song gets louder and louder until the line “we give Thee thanks for” is emphasized, with five voices chanting it. The grand sound of the five voices together is reminiscent of the greatness of the St. Peters church, which also happens to be the place where the most Papal ceremonies take place, also thanking…

    Baroque Vs Italian Baroque Art

    Artemisia was also one of the few female painters in the Baroque Period. Her work was extreme, and she used her anger and frustration from personal experiences to guide her hand. Gentileschi was raped and was mocked for thinking she could report it to seek justice. The lack of authority supporting her claim led to the rapist never being charged. Her work, “Judith Slaying Holofernes” shows to woman beheading a man. Similar to Caravaggio we see a dark black background to draw the viewers’ attention to the people in the painting. The lighting and shadows bring the women alive as you see one holding down the man, while the other cuts his head off with a sword. Caravaggio and Gentileschi both used the technique of foreshadowing to bring their paintings to…

    Judith and Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes and Joseph the Carpenter

    Equally impressive is the creation of a focal point by La Tour, a French artist largely known for his usage of “candle lit subjects” (EB). In this case the candlelight is in the hands of the boy figure casting a shadow over Joseph the carpenter. The light “focal point” is on the boy’s face, representing the importance of the boy himself as being Christ. La Tour’s oil canvas 18 ½ X 25 ½ inches in size, somewhat smaller than Gentileschi’s piece; however the size does not imply that it is of less relevance. La Tour’s “geometric simplification” (EB) of the human form is in contrast to that of Gentileschi. This prospective…

    Byzantine Architecture Analysis Essay

    The author's thesis displayed in the chapters is that the church uses diverse styles, sources, meanings, and significance of this art, individually and as a whole rather than representing the specific value of the region. Although roots are drawn to the representation of Byzantine culture, especially that of the thirteenth and fourteenth century within the design of the church, the authors explains how the diverse influences were what finally shaped the facades of the church to represent the Venice life. The plethora of authors use examples of how Byzantine material was brought in and exclusively used to construct the church to localize the church. The author of the chapter uses the likeness of mosaics, sculpture, metalwork, and relics within the church to express the different Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, or Venetian imitation of Byzantine designs captured in the church. The church and its decoration are studied in relation to Venice’s interests abroad and on mainland Italy. Overall, the book chapters offer new ideas into the inspiration, purposes, and innovative perspectives of San Marco and the myths that inspired and motivated the people of…
