Does anybody know anything about the renassance?
i believe the 'renassance', as you call it, which by the way is more appropriately spelled as Renaissance, was a sort of reawakening (around the 15th-16th century) of the (please correct me if i'm wrong) European people in terms of once again venturing out onto the world in search of cultural, artistic and intellectual knowledge. This was because the period before the Renaissance was actually the time when the Byzantine Empire(it was the capital of Rome)fell from power (because of the Turks), thus throwing Europe and all its scholars into a state of frenzy to survive because of the nature of the brutish and ruthless overthrowers, giving them rarely the time to think about anything less than living as far as tomorrow, much less...well, THINKING at all. But sometime after that, I believe a string of events I really cannot come to mind right now, occured, leading to the said era. By the way, Renaissance aactually means 'rebirth' in Italian, a very befitting name if i may say so. Hope I helped. :)
How is Mannerist style different from high renaissance art?
Mannerism is a period of European art that emerged from the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520. It lasted until about 1580 in Italy, when a more Baroque style began to replace it, but Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century throughout much of Europe. Stylistically, Mannerism encompasses a variety of approaches influenced by, and reacting to, the harmonious ideals and restrained naturalism associated with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and early Michelangelo. Mannerism is notable for its intellectual sophistication as well as its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic) qualities. Depending on the historical account, Mannerism developed between 1510 and 1520 in either Florence, Rome, or both cities. The early Mannerists in Florence—especially the students of Andrea del Sarto: Jacopo da Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino—are notable for elongated forms, precariously balanced poses, a collapsed perspective, irrational settings, and theatrical lighting. Michelangelo was one of the great creative exponents of Mannerism and it was his style which raised the standard of art to a new height. also, Giorgio Vasari, Annibale Carracci, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Correggio, Jacopo Robusti Tintoretto, Pablo Veronese, El Greco and Adam Eisheimer were the main exponents of this art style. The quialities associated with mannerist art include: tension, emotionalism, elongation of the human figure, strained poses, unusual effects of scale, lighting or perspective vivd often lurid colours, In simple terms, mannerist art contained more! more movement, more expression, more drama, more sensuality, more colour....more almost everything. It also refelcted the political scene following the sack of Rome in 1527. Loving greetings.
