What
has been the most significant movement in the history of art and why? Edgard, Miami


Dear Edward, your question is very important and of general interest. The most important movement in art history has been the Renaissance because from there began the art to gain importance. So called because there was a revival of classical art, architecture, literature and science, which began in the fifteenth century and ended in the seventeenth century. Renaissance art was centered humanism inspired by the intellectuals of the era and the renewed interest in classical art of Greece and Rome. The first Renaissance painter Giotto is known, and Florence was the cradle of the Renaissance. Most are works by Giotto murals in churches while representing religious subjects were given a worldly aspect. The Renaissance was a great control of human anatomy, gestures, facial expressions and linear and aerial perspective. They also began to paint secular subjects themed classical legends, historical and religious themes.

The Renaissance was preceded by the Middle Ages, which lasted 10 centuries, from the V to the XV century. The architecture also became important in the Renaissance. As St. Peter's Basilica designed by Michelangelo, the most important architectural work of this movement.

The Renaissance has three stages, initial or early renaissance, going from 1400 to 1470, whose main exponents Sandro Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca, Masaccio, Filippo Lippi, Mantegna and Fra Angelico. The early Renaissance artists sought to create consistent ways in the real world and the challenge was to make sculptural forms in a vast space with the effects of light and color.

The High Renaissance, which lasted from 1480 to 1530, was held in Rome, not Florence as the early Renaissance. Did Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Donato Bramante, and Titian as the main operators. The High Renaissance was characterized by the development of ways of representing linear perspective, the air and the natural world, with great fidelity. Also by the sfumato (the soft shadows graduation creates depth and volume) of Leonardo can be seen in the lips of the Mona Lisa. Also use much the chiaroscuro (light and shade), which is the use of strong contrasts between light and shadow volumes to better emphasize certain objects or people. This stage is the pinnacle of Renaissance art.

The Late Renaissance and Mannerism is also called originated in Venice and then spread to Spain, Central and Northern Europe. Lasted from 1530 until 1600 when he began the Baroque period. Mannerism was a reaction against anti-classical and the validity of the ideal of beauty and calm and balance that defended the high Renaissance. Some mannerist figures were naked in awkward postures with limbs graceful, elongated proportions, highly stylized and lack of a clear perspective. He favored giving more emotion and distortion. Works done at this time reflected the tension that marked Europe at this time. The main exponents of the late Renaissance are, Fiorentino, Pontormo, Parmigianino, Bronzino and Giorgio Vasari, Tintoretto, Veronese and Arcimboldo.

Edgard, like I said, the Renaissance is important because the art was important at that time. I can also add that the Renaissance is the most significant move was made because the best-known works of the Western world today, the Mona Lisa and Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci. The Renaissance is also important because he started the modern era.

Thanks for your good question Edgard interest.
