My Best History Period

Hi! Guys this is my next blog entry and it is all about my best period of art history. And I choose the renaissance art period. Because this period the art have been a realism art and the arts in this period is beautiful. Even though times have passed the renaissance art is still popular because of the artist’s history like Leonardo da Vinci’s art works like “The Mona Lisa”. The Mona Lisa is the greatest creation of Leonardo da Vinci. And the Mona Lisa is the most popular painting in ages, still it remains as beautiful as the time it’s been created. There is a lot of things that happened in this period so chose this art history period. The meaning of Renaissance art is the painting, sculpture and decorative arts of that period of European history known as the Renaissance, emerging as a distinct style in Italy in about 1400, in parallel with developments which occurred in philosophy, literature, music and science. Renaissance art, perceived as a "rebirth" of ancient traditions, took as its foundation the art of Classical antiquity, but transformed that tradition by the absorption of recent developments in the art of Northern Europe and by application of contemporary scientific knowledge. This is the most talked about in the history of arts because of the humanist Philosophy who spread the renaissance art through the world. And for that I thank them because if they didn’t spread this to the world I can’t or I wouldn’t now how to draw and paint a realistic type of art.

I think in my own opinion the most influential era of art and design is this the renaissance period. Because the renaissance art period is the mostly know in the century. But, I think all of the history of art period is influential because it all started at the period of the “Cave Painting” it just evolved into a much great type of drawings or painting. Well, for me the most influential era of arts and design is the renaissance period, it’s just for me, how about you? What is your best  art history period? And the influences upon the development of Renaissance art in the early 15th century are those that also affected Philosophy, Literature, Architecture, Theology, Science, Government and other aspects of society. Look at that even the government is been influenced by the renaissance art I saw this at google and this information helped me to like it to much. There is to much to learn in the history of arts and a lot of things to discover in this periods. Well, this all I can share. I wish you enjoyed reading my blog. Thank you for reading. :)

The Mona Lisa

             

            Hi readers this my new blog entry and it's all about Mona Lisa. Who is Mona Lisa?  The Million dollar question in the whole world, "who is Mona Lisa?". Why did  Leonardo da Vinci created this beautiful painting? What is the name of the person on the painting of Leonardo da Vinci ? There is a lot of questions to be made in this topic but I'm just going to answer a few. Let's start in the name of the person on the painting of Leonardo da Vinci. The name of the person on the painting is Lisa Gherardini Del Giocondo. Lisa was from a well-known family known through Tuscany and Florence and married to Francesco Del Giocondo who was a very wealthy silk merchant. The work was to celebrate their home’s completion, as well as a celebration of the birth of their second son. Not until 2005 was the identity of Mona Lisa‘s subject fully understood, though years of speculation have suggested the true identity of the painting’s subject.

            The Mona Lisa is famous for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons, of course, for the popularity of the painting is the artist himself. Leonardo da Vinci is perhaps the most recognized artist in the world. Not only was Da Vinci an artist, but he was also a scientist, inventor, and a doctor. His study of the human form came from the study of actual human cadavers. Because of his ability to study from the actual form of the human, he was able to draw and paint it more accurately than any other artist of his time. Well, When centuries after Lisa's death, Mona Lisa became the world's most famous painting and took on a life separate from Lisa, the woman. Speculation by scholars and hobbyists made the work of art a globally recognized icon and an object of commercialization. Some information about Lisa she was born in Florence and married in her teens to a cloth and silk merchant who later became a local official, she was mother to five children and led what is thought to have been a comfortable and ordinary middle-class life. Lisa outlived her husband, who was considerably her senior.

          According to the researchers at Heidelberg University, scribbled notes in the margin of a book 500 years old are the evidence that establishes the identity of the woman with the strange half-smile. “It's Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Giocondo a Florentine merchant, whose portrait hangs in the Louvre museum in Paris,” the media reported on Tuesday, quoting lead researcher Viet Probst as saying. Many have long supposed La Gioconda, as she was also known, was the sitter, from comments made by Giorgio Vasari in 1550. But Vasari's identification was made 50 years after Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa, and, the university said he was noted for elaborating the truth. Through all the questions about Mona Lisa there is still question to be made in this painting and an answer through all of those question. And also I almost forgot the the location were Mona Lisa is been created is in  Musée du Louvre, Paris. And it has a dimension of 77 cm × 53 cm (30 in × 21 in). And Leonardo da Vinci  used oil on poplar in this painting. Well, This all I can say for now see you to my next blog entry. :)
