How did christian and classical values effect their lives as artists? en-us 2020-04-13 04:25:09 UTC 2021-11-04 06:30:54 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034848 Michelangelo was a devoutly Catholic man. He was for God and the Church. But Christian values differ between groups of people, and this dramatically impacted Michelangelo. He painted the Last Judgement with everyone completely nude. For him this could have been a form of worship, God created this body so it must be blessed. Everyone is powerful and athletic. Of course we know that the figures had been  clothed. The Last Judgement, thanks to the printing press, got everywhere. Many people saw the nudity and thought it was pornographic. Elizabeth Lev really goes into this in one of the articles in the "Starter Links". But basically these conflicting versions of christian values impacted Michelangelo because they saw his painting censored and him adding to it. In the height of sass, he paints one of his critics being dragged to Hell with a serpents tail around him twice- to signify lust. ]]> 2020-04-13 04:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034848 https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034913 Raphael was born on April 6th, 1483 in Urbino which was a town in Central Italy. He was raised in a cultured and humanist environment where his creative streak began with his father being a painter. He was apprenticed by Perguino, in which he was able to mimic his masters style to the point where they could see no difference between the paintings. He was considered a master painter at 17.  ]]> 2020-04-13 04:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034913 https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034918 Both obviously had christian teachings throughout their lives as they were christian and this was common for the time, however at young ages both were subject to classical values - Rapheal through his farther, and Michelangelo through his mentors (Francisco da Urbino -humanist - and going to the Medici art school). These teachings changed the way they did art - most prominently so in Michelangelo where we have works before the Medici's influence and after - that show the progression of thinking in relation to christen/ religious imageries and classical imageries.
Michelangelo always used nudes in his paintings - classical - even when he was painting for the church, where as Raphael didn't tend to use (only on a couple of occasions did he) nude figures in his works. This speaks to the artists different mindset and how Christianity and classicalism effected them differently - Michelangelo was more about humanism and the perfect ratios, and perfect form, where as Raphael was more about the science and the exploration of ideas and the expansion of knowledge.]]> 2020-04-13 04:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034918 https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034923 ancient greek values, about proportion, maths science cosmology

His paintings and sculptures are still known today worldwide and still hold influence over the art community. At the age of 13 Michelangelo was apprenticed to well-known florentine fresco painter, Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449-1494). Within 12 months of Michelangelo's apprenticeship he demonstrated greater drawings to that of his master. Although before he left his apprenticeship (two years early) he learnt the basic skills of the fresco painting (that would prove essential for his later work). Determined to be sculptor, he studied in the gardens of the powerful Medici family, devoting himself to observations of the antique statues kept there. Lorenzo de’ Medici learned of Michelangelo's talents and took him into his household “as a son” thus becoming his first patron. Michelangelo’s work shows he had a deep understanding of the human form, and how to depict it in a large array of different poses. His use of complex, twisting figures and vibrant colours of his work, played a huge role in the later art movement of Mannerism. The Christian values at the time affected his life in the way of plentiful job opportunities such as his commissions from Pope Julius II to first paint the Sistine chapel ceiling and later “the last judgement”. Michelangelo’s frescoes were greatly inspired by mythological and classical influences, which are visible in said work. Although his paintings suggest a strong christian influence there are elements of humanism through his non-biblical figures such as the sibyls or ignudi.]]> 2020-04-13 04:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034928 philippamallins https://padlet.com/philippamallins/blacn2sa5761hisa/wish/504034932 https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/renaissance-reformation/high-ren-florence-rome
