Key Points:
Gives small description of artwork.

Discusses the figures in the centre of the painting, as well as the symbolic meaning of the figures, and their movements.

Gives information about other key figures found in the artwork, as well as the manner in which these figures are shown.

Article also gives some information that hints at the effect many of these figures had on the wider world.

Second Text: https://www.theartstory.org/definition/renaissance-humanism/artworks/

Key Points:
Contains information regarding many Renaissance artworks.

Provides background info on the artworks, as well as information that may be difficult to find elsewhere.]]> 2020-07-01 00:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/philippamallins/tcnvx4wtuvgez3r/wish/644489677 Oak https://padlet.com/philippamallins/tcnvx4wtuvgez3r/wish/644491694 I found this text to be really helpful with understanding the concept of beauty in Neo Platonism

Key points:
Beauty is found not in a psychical sense but in a spiritual or virtue sense, Ie we can achieve beauty through intellectual thinking

This is shown in the statue of the dying slave through he is able to achive beauty which allows him to escape the prison of his body and allow him to move to a higher plane.]]> 2020-07-01 00:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/philippamallins/tcnvx4wtuvgez3r/wish/644491694 Ms M - Alberti on painting - Book 1 philippamallins https://padlet.com/philippamallins/tcnvx4wtuvgez3r/wish/644491872 http://www.noteaccess.com/Texts/Alberti/1.htm

In this text Alberti draws parallels between mathematics and painting. He is careful to point out that they are seperate disciplines in their own rights, but that geometry informs proportion in painting.

A particular point of interest for Alberti is the idea of the triangle, which he argues is important for composition.

This compositional principles I would argue is highly influential. We see it in a number of high renaissance art works as a way of creating a graceful balanced space, it is also a useful symbol.]]> 2020-07-01 00:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/philippamallins/tcnvx4wtuvgez3r/wish/644491872 Nadège https://padlet.com/philippamallins/tcnvx4wtuvgez3r/wish/644493002 Text: https://da.khanacademy.org/humanities/renaissance-reformation/high-ren-florence-rome/high-renaissance1/v/raphael-madonna-of-the-goldfinch-1505-6

Key Points:
Provides general description of the artwork.

Analyses symbolism within the artwork e.g. the goldfinch as a symbol of Christ's suffering and links this to the foretelling of Christ's terrible outcome on the cross.

Discusses the three figures (Mary, Saint John, Jesus) and their positioning, movement etc.
