Comparison of Three High Renaissance Paintings Introduction I have chosen Chapter 11—The High Renaissance and Mannerism from our text book for the time period from which I chose my three works of art. ... Although all three of these artists seem to have painted the same picture theme, each painting is very unique in its own way. High Renaissance Style Paintings from the High Renaissance period sought to portray an idealized world and universe, as they man had the potential and dignity to be God-like, as well as glorify the church (Tse). ... High Renaissance art reflects harmony and balance and the correct depiction of the human body in any position. ... The Alba Madonna “The Alba Madonna” by Raphael is a perfect expression of High Renaissance period art. ... The focus of all three figures is the yarnwinder cross in the Christ Child’s hand. ... This painting is done in the traditional rectangular frame, with the figures positioned in the typical triangular fashion of the High Renaissance. ... The one I have chosen shows a mountain range with high peaks and a vivid blue sky, while the other painting is greener with the scene running down to the sea. Neither of these paintings is considered the original work of Leonardo, but rather a product of his studio and students. ... Similarities and Differences These three paintings all center on the yarnwinder cross and the Madonna with Christ on her lap, yet each painting is unique. ... The Yarnwinder All three paintings contain the yarnwinder cross, but who is actually holding the cross is different in each painting. ... The only similarity with the yarnwinder in all three paintings is that the Madonna is never holding it, as though she cannot bear to be a physical part of it. |
