Alan Merris Bell Original Paintings

High Renaissance: [ 1450 to 1520 ]
Italian Renaissance patrons wanted art that showed joy in the human beauty and life pleasures. Renaissance is more lifelike then in the art of the Middle Ages. Renaissance artists studied perspective, or the differences in the way things look when they are close to something or far away. The artists painted in a way that showed their differences. As a result, their paintings seem to have depth. Renaissance was a form of art that removed the extraneous detail and showed the world as it was. Forms, colors, and proportions, light and shade effects, harmony, composition, perspective, anatomy- all was handled with total control and a level of accomplishment for which there are no real precedents. Great Renaissance artist are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian.
