文艺复兴时期的艺术

Art of the Renaissance Period

After the long middle Ages, under the influence of humanism thought and scientific approach, a new important period of the history of human art appeared. As we all know, it’s the Renaissance period. In this period, the artists revive the imitating natural science of ancient Greek art. They combined art and science in order to

achieve the purpose of truly reflecting reality. Perspective and anatomy become two big props of Renaissance art.

Leonardo da Vinci is my favorite artist. We never know a man developed in that an all-round way. The wideness of his study field, the greatness of the achievements he had, just are incredible. Painting is just a part of his study life. I like most of his works like the Baptism of Christ, Virgin of the Rocks, and Last Supper. But I like Mona Lisa most. It’s said that he painted this work for many years. The women in the picture show us a feeling of calm. We also can’t feel dull although there is only a woman in the picture. Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile is combined with the comfort background, which is just like Chinese landscape painting. This kind of feeling, which is just like using a long story also couldn’t explain the complex of real life, the unique qualities of great artistic works. After this painting work, half-length became a popular pattern of painting.

We can find that Da Vinci was effect by the background of his period. Also, that period need an artist like him. The background brought up Da Vinci and gave the life of his work. Da Vinci gave back the soul of that period.
