RENAISSANCE ART PERIOD

The Renaissance period was a time of great change in the art world. The
emergence of the "Renaissance man" in the period between the 14th and the 17th
centuries brought forth the modern era in art, literature, and education. The
word Renaissance means "rebirth" in French and appropriately names an epoch that
saw a return to the classical sensibilities of art. The naturalist art style
that was popular during the Renaissance is said to have originated in the
Tuscany area of Italy and spread from there. The humanist approach to art was
flamed by the Medici family's patronage to the arts and the migration of Greek
scholars to Italy. Although the political turmoil of the 16th century saw a
decline of the realist art style and the age of Mannerism was heralded, the
Renaissance period is said to have continued until the 1600s.

Tommaso Masaccio, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Piero della
Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Sandro Botticelli, Donatello,
Titian, Hugo van der Goes, Jan van Eyck, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Albrecht
Durer, Rogier van der Weyden, Hieronymus Bosch, Robert Campin.


MANNERISM ART PERIOD

The stylized age of Mannerism began around the beginning of the 16th century due
to the harmonious works of artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and da Vinci.
The sophistication of the Renaissance artists" pieces influenced Mannerism"s
fascinating loss of perspective and elongated forms. The Mannerist art era saw
artists study from the works of the Renaissance masters rather than nature. Thus
the Mannerists moved away from the Renaissance artists" desire to accurately
portray nature with an aspiration to improve upon reality. The pretentious art
pieces from the Mannerist era are often said to be "unfeeling" in tone due to
the lack of emotion in the works. Mannerism fell out of style in the late 1500s
in Italy, but continued in France until the 17th century.

Art Masters: Rosso Fiorentino, Benvenuto Cellini, and Agnolo Bronzino from
Florence; Jacopo Pontormo from Pontorme; El Greco from Crete; and Parmigianino
from Parma.


BAROQUE ART PERIOD

After the cool restraint of the Renaissance and the twisted gloom of Mannerism,
the Baroque period burst upon the art world in a tidal wave of opulent
decadence. The period spanning from roughly 1600 to 1750 saw some of art
history’s most captivating artworks and fascinating personalities, whose life
stories are filled with tales of backstabbing, treachery, and overarching
ambition. The Baroque period may have been critically maligned in the centuries
following its demise, but today the Baroque has triumphed as art historians and
the art-loving public put the era firmly back in its place as one of the most
enthralling periods of art in western history.

Art Masters: Dutch Baroque Jacopo Isaakszoon van Ruisdael and Frans Hals from
Harleem, Rembrandt van Rijn from Leiden, and Johannes Vermeer from Delft.
Italian Baroque: Caravaggio from Milan, Annibale Carracci from Bologna, Gian
Lorenzo Bernini from Naples, and Francesco Borromini from Bissone. Spanish
Baroque: Jusepe de Ribera from Xàtiva, Diego Velazquez and Bartolome Esteban
Murillo from Seville, and Francisco de Zurbaran from Fuente de Cantos. French
Baroque: Nicolas Poussin from Les Andelys, Claude Lorrain from Chamagne, and
Georges de la Tour from Vic-sur-Seille. Flemish Baroque: Peter Paul Rubens from
Siegen, Anthony van Dyck and Jacob Jordaens from Antwerp, and Adriaen Brouwer
from Oudenaarde. English Baroque: Inigo Jones from London, Christopher Wren from
East Knoyle, and Nicholas Hawksmoor from Nottinghamshire.


ROCOCO ART PERIOD

The ostentatious Rococo art period developed in the 18th century under the reign
of France's King Louis XIV. After the lavish work that was produced in the
Baroque era Rococo art embraced a much more lively tone. The frivolous interior
design style that signified the Rococo epoch was elaborately florid in style and
soon spread from the king's court into the homes of the Parisian elite. The
Rococo art manner quickly became popular all over Europe until it fell out of
style at the end of the 18th century. Unfortunately Rococo style was discussed
derogatively in the mid-19th century; however today Rococo is considered a
fascinatingly important art period.

Art Masters: Thomas Gainsborough from Sudbury, Sir Joshua Reynolds from
Plympton, William Hogarth from London, Antoine Watteau from Valenciennes,
Francois Boucher and Nicolas Pineau from Paris, Maurice Quentin de la Tour from
Saint-Quentin, and Jean Honore Fragonard from Grasse.


NEOCLASSICISM ART PERIOD

During the late 18th and 19th century the conceited neoclassicist artists were
reacting against the opulent Baroque and Rococo art styles. Neoclassicism was an
era that saw artists exclusively follow the ‘pure’ canonical artists, those that
are considered to be the ‘classics’. Thus rather than replicate the styles they
considered immortal neoclassicists created their works highly sensitive of the
great artists’ conventions. Espousing history’s masterpieces meant that there
were a number of inane pieces in circulation and neoclassicism was not always
highly originality. However it also meant that the neoclassicists avoided
producing tasteless works. Neoclassicism is an academic art that was in style
until the end of the 19th century, when it fell out of fashion because many
considered it to be "anti-modern".

Art Masters: Jacques-Louis David from Paris, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres from
Montauban, Antonio Canova from Venice, and John Flaxman from York.


ROMANTICISM ART PERIOD

Romanticism was a vivid art period that flourished during the late 18th century
and the Industrial Revolution. During the Romanticism era modern knowledge was
renounced in favor of the unfamiliar and there was an emphasis placed on
"feeling". Consequently, rebelling against the scientific approach to art, the
Romantics' extravagant works were emotive pieces that were designed to inspire
dread, admiration, and foreboding in the viewer. Romanticism perceived art as a
vessel for aesthetic understanding and focused on picturesque scenes. Thus many
Romantic artists centered their works on exotic and medieval scenes. Offered as
an opposite to Realism, Romanticism is often said to have been central in the
counter-enlightenment movement.

Art Masters: Caspar David Friedrich from Greifswald, Theodore Gericault from
Paris, Eugene Delacroix from Charenton, J.M.W. Turner from London, John William
Waterhouse from Rome, John Constable from East Bergholt, and Goya from Fuente de
Todos.


REALISM ART PERIOD

Realism was a refined art movement that arose during the late 18th century and
was popular until the early 19th century. Realist art evolved in response to
French Romanticism and placed emphasis on the importance of objectively
understanding the world. Thus Realist artists believed that reality was a solid
entity that could be dispassionately and accurately recorded. Realism developed
alongside the growing popularity of photography and pursued the ‘truth’.
Consequently Realist artist's rejected the sensuous Classical models of art and
primarily utilized working men as its subject matter. The prudent Realist art
fell out of style during the mid nineteenth century.

Art Masters: Honoré-Victorin Daumier from Marseille, Jean-Désiré-Gustave Courbet
from Ornans, John Singer Sargent from Florence, and James McNeil Whistler from
London.


IMPRESSIONISM ART PERIOD

Impressionism was an expressive 19th century art movement that developed in
Paris. The Impressionist painters were radicals rebelling against the status quo
of the Parisian art scene. Their masterful paintings took art out of the studios
and gave precedence to color and brush work over draftsmanship. They attempted
to capture a fleeting reality and their sun drenched canvases focused on
familial scenes and landscapes. Although the Impressionist painter's independent
art exhibitions were initially rejected by the art world, their pieces were soon
heralded as masterpieces. However the fascinating Impressionist era came to an
end with the rise of the Post-Impressionist movements.

Art Masters: Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, and Claude Monet from
Paris; Pierre-Auguste Renoir from Limoges; and Berthe Morisot from Bourges.


POST IMPRESSIONISM ART PERIOD

Post Impressionism is a term that describes the elaborate art movement that
arose after the era of Impressionism. The term Post Impressionism was coined by
the art critic Roger Fry to describe the period after Manet and, although it
does not describe one particular art style, it has persisted due to convenience.
The Post Impressionist painters upheld the same ideals as the Impressionists but
rejected many of the restrictions the earlier artists placed on their work. Thus
they embraced the use of vivid paint colors but were happy to distort reality to
meet their paintings' requirements. Additionally the Post Impressionists
preferred their paintings to have more structure than many of the
Impressionist's pieces. The post impressionist movement subsided at the
beginning of the 20th century and the outbreak of war.

Art Masters: Henri Toulouse-Lautrec from Albi, Vincent van Gogh from Zundert,
Georges Seurat and Paul Gauguin from Paris, and Paul Cezanne from Cesana.
