Research Paper On Titian

During this painting, Michelangelo didn’t have the drive he usually did, but when his greatest enemy, Perugino started to work on it with him, that drove him to another level. Michelangelo’s interest in portraying the human body, reflected how the people in this time period felt, and that made the people who viewed his art interested in his work. Also, his sculptures reflect how dramatic of a shift it was to the Renaissance Period from the Middle Ages, and shows how the

Throughout Europe, the Renaissance period had various effects on art which can be broken down and seen from Southern (Italian) and Northern paintings. With the renaissance, came disinterest in dogma, and more of a focus on naturalism and humanism. However, the strong influence of religion never left either the Northern or Southern art works, due to the commission by the church. Giuliano Bugiardini’s, Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist, 1510, is a pristine depiction of what Southern European art during the renaissance contained, element by element. Northern artists kept most their roots, focusing heavily on religion while enhancing on the details and adding few aspects of naturalism; while Southern artists took

Tiziano Vecellio, also documented, as Titian was an Italian painter. He was born sometime around 1470-1480, his exact date of birth is unclear and he died of a fever during the plague around 1576. Titian was one of the furthermost adaptable Italian painters during the High Renaissance. Titian was equally proficient with portraits, landscape backgrounds and mythological and religious subjects. Consequently, Titian was one of the furthermost important members of the sixteenth century Venetian school and he is still an overwhelming influence on the art world. Often times, Titian is described as the first artist to have an international career. Titian’s painting career was prosperous from the start but over the course of this prolonged life, his style changed drastically and he retained a permanent interest in color, which is well defined in his painting Venus of Urbino.

Many people choose to migrate to another country to pursue a better life where one can make more money with higher standard of living. However in the town Ticuani, located in Mixteca, Mexico, many people choose to “transnational” between their native country and United State, New york.

Maryse Conde a Guadeloupian, historical fiction writer, wrote many novels, essays, short stories, and children’s books. She studied in Paris at the age of sixteen. In addition, she was a professor at Columbia University, UCLA, UC Berkley, University of Virginia, and the University of Nanterre. Maryse Conde wrote I, Tituba in 1986 which examined the struggles of a Caribbean slave named Tituba. It’s a historical fiction about the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts. The author portrayed another perspective of how colored women like Tituba were not historically known for the witch trials. With this in mind, Tituba was born and raised in the Caribbean of Barbados where she experienced a rough childhood which she was then raised by a witch named Mama Yaya. As she grew older, she fell in love with John Indian that she was sold to become a slave. Furthermore, she was sent to the Americas to serve her owner and she was accused of being a witch. Thus, one might suggest examining the story of Tituba, the characters, and the major issues in the story.

The Baroque style, used by Caravaggio, was the absolute opposite of any Renaissance painter that had lived before him and because of this; it was probably the reason why he became the most radical artist of his time. He deserted the rules that had guided a century of artists before him and because of his theatrical break in style from the Italian Renaissance; he carefully brings a completely distinct treatment of narrative. Caravaggio's action of form in his Conversion of St. Paul is extraordinarily different from Perugino's work of art. One of the choices he decided to use was instead of outlining Paul and his horse with lines, Caravaggio abandons this unique style and adds movement by using a painterly style in which he uses paint to create an image and not rigid outlines. He uses color and value to produce a unique form, causing a sense of movement in the figures. They are not locked in time like Perugino's figures and express the exact opposite message of classical, passive figures. These are strong, vibrant, and emotional figures. Perhaps the emotional aspect of the figures is created by Caravaggio's introduction of dramatic light and dark effects, termed tenebrism. This technique was a great breakthrough in art, which added great emotional effects and mystery to the art. Caravaggio doesn't light Paul with a clear even light like Perugino

Much of Delacroix’s inspiration, like many other artists, came from the Renaissance period artist Michelangelo. He studied his work closely, reveling in his study of figures as well as the life, and death, he portrayed on canvas. During the later stages of Eugene Delacroix’s life he was commissioned by the government of France to paint enormous paintings on ceilings of buildings, which made him feel a closeness with the late Michelangelo. It’s said that his intensity rivaled that of Michelangelo as well. Delacroix went so far as to create a portrait painting titled ‘Michelangelo in His Studio’, this shows the intense influence this artist had on his work as well in his life. In Delacroix’s personal journal he wrote of Michelangelo saying, ‘Familiarity with the work of Michelangelo has exalted and elevated every subsequent generation of painters.’ We can trace Delacroix’s artistic heritage back to Rubens and Michelangelo, although his use of colors was a product of his Venetian schooling. Delacroix’s influence throughout the Romanticism art movement is comparable to that of Michelangelo’s influence throughout the Renaissance movements. Delacroix spent time studying and embodying Michelangelo’s work and found his niche in art by studying his predecessor’s realism. Michelangelo is often recognized as the artist who painted the large and detailed piece located in the Vatican City. He painted scenes from The Old Testament, and The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. You can see

Harold states that towards 1521, Titian simultaneously continued a series of small Madonnas, which he placed in beautiful landscapes, in the manner of genre pictures or poetic pastorals. In 1525, he married Cecilia and they had three children. However, in his later career, Titian focused more on religious and mythological works and became more and more of a perfectionist. However, he left many of his paintings unfinished and took several years to do many final, insignificant details. Sadly, on Aug. 27, 1576, Titian died in his spacious palace in Venice. Titian left a legacy that would inspire generations of artists that came after him.

Caravaggio’s, however, was darker and more dramatic. Caravaggio started an intense style called tenebrism. Tenebrism is a more prominent form of chiaroscuro, where there are vehement contrasts between light and dark. Fred Kleiner best describes Caravaggio’s style, “In his art, Caravaggio injected naturalism into both religion and the classics, reducing them to human dramas played out in the harsh and dingy settings of his time and place” (Kleiner, 681). Caravaggio painted during the Italian Baroque in the 1600’s. Italian Baroque artists like Caravaggio embraced theatricality and extravagant ornamentation, while Renaissance artists focused more on precise classical models. Now Caravaggio wasn’t exactly an upstanding member of society, most of what the art world knows about him is through his police reports. Caravaggio’s Entombment was created in 1603 and, like Giotto’s Lamentation, depicts the death of Jesus. While they both depict the same religious scene and use styles that are new for their time, Caravaggio’s painting has some drastic differences from Giotto’s. Caravaggio’s painting is oil painted on canvas, which gives Caravaggio the opportunity to be more detailed in his painting than Giotto can with fresco. Caravaggio creates these intense dramatic scenes of diagonals and intense movement. Unlike Giotto, Caravaggio uses linear perspective to direct his viewer’s attention to the body of Jesus. Caravaggio does this by using a diagonal cascade of mourners descending towards Jesus’ body. Inclusively, Caravaggio started a darker, more dramatic movement that gave naturalism a new realistic element.

The Salem Witch Trials were a dark spot in America’s early history. During a time where acts of the unknown were simply considered spiritual signs or supernatural forces with meanings; the early American settlers in Salem, Massachusetts were plagued with what they claimed were acts of the Devil putting witches in their town to disrupt Puritan beliefs and actions. One of the earliest accused witches was the village pastor’s slave Tituba Indian. Tituba was especially vulnerable to accusations to due to her extreme double minority status as well as the fact that she was owned by the village pastor.

Titian was a painter who painted famous paintings of religious beliefs such as “Sacred and Profane Love” and “Venus of Urbino” which were lost in fire but are safe on the internet. Titian trained under two other seminal Venetian artists, Giovanni Bellini (active by 1459, died 1516) and

Caravaggio lived through a dark period of time. His behavior, however became more and more violent as he began to challenge the beauty of art. He becomes more and more of a murder and uses more dramatic composition heightening his view of the situation.

Tiziano Vecellio, also known as Titian was an Italian painter, born sometime around 1488 and died around 1576. Titian was one of the furthermost important members of the sixteenth century Venetian school.

Titian a young artist had a weird childhood consisting of day and night training, painting with fruits, and working alongside masterminds of medieval art. Titian was titled as one of the most inspirational artist of the Knights and Castle Era. He overcame adversity and learned what it truly meant to be an intelligent artist. To fully understand Titian, one must understand his background, who was his inspiration, and the deeper meanings he infused into his paintings.

Every painting is a unique experience for each individual person, therefore two of the artists that offered some of the most unique experiences where Leonardo da vinci and Michelangelo. While both of these painters are today well regarded and remembered, during their time they both had achieved such status in vastly different ways. Therefore even though these two artists lived during the same time these two are nothing alike. With their unique take on the world and events around them they were able to shape how the average person thought about the world around them.
