The Italian Renaissance.

        The High Renaissance was regarded to be an explosion of new beginnings in Italian art. Some regarded to be the ‘rebirth.’ This is since , many of the artists present and who had contributed to this movement had rediscovered ancient philosophies in literature and in science. It was from here that artists had developed their own ideas whilst incorporating some of their discoveries into their work . In addition to this , artists had seen great significance in Roman and Greek mythology .And it was thus that grace and beauty was brought to several pieces of work and was the inspiration behind the varied techniques in art which been thought to bring more life into ancient buildings .

        Furthermore, the Italian Renaissance had been a movement not only of reintroducing myth and history but was also a time when peoples religious views and social theories had been brought into their art work as a form of personal expression .

        It was more the Early Italian Renaissance that had brought a clear definition to that period of art . This is since , it was the time central to the arrival of artists such as Donatello. When used it conjunction to these artists , the Italian Renaissance can be furthermore said to be a time when theory was the foundation of artistry . It was these theories that were normally playing a part in the artists life and to revive developments made in the past but also to redevelop techniques used in the past and yet sustain their own ideas . The Early Renaissance art had also focused on human behaviour and the natural world but in a much more elaborate form . In was in attempting to incorporate these inspirations which had presented a challenge to the Renaissance artists in getting the correct sculptural dimensions and to make elements which are measurable; as accurate as possible . Therefore colour, tones , light and theme were very carefully looked at .

        Inquiry and question was seen to be a key element of a successful and powerful piece of art work and thus extreme lengths were gone to by artists in order to investigate the variety of many of that the actions and flaw of the human body can be brought into architecture . Despite the facts that during the Italian Renaissance artists had needed to observe natural areas, they were sometimes confined to focus of particular areas of nature and to elaborate on their appearances . It is from here that the Renaissance beauty is also said to be a time in artistry when nature was manipulated in paintings and the beauty of nature of areas are elaborated on which brought a greater significance and much greater beauty which would not be found in nature itself . Therefore it is thus that the Italian Renaissance was also a time when artists had brought life to literary discoveries , developed them and to make perfect discoveries that were not otherwise beforehand . In doing this , the artistry had adapted spiritual qualities that are large contributors to the elegance of Renaissance paintings .

        During the late Renaissance the movement had be seen to still adapt the same concepts as the High and Early Renaissance . However, this was the period of time when Mannerism was introduced and had deepened the meaning of the Italian Renaissance by even more with extreme beauty and elegance by which Mannerism had taken its name . It was during this period that the majority of artistic qualities were solely individual and it was this that had presented great achievement during this stage . Furthermore, it was the competition to be a master artist that had caused the Italian Renaissance to become somewhat over developed and was very far away from the time when elements of theory were just being discovered and hence contributed to the initial growth .
