The Renaissance
The Renaissance is usualy defined as the rebirth of
painting and literature inspired by classical models,especially
those of ancient
Greece.The Renaissance lasted from the fifteenth to the sixteenth
century and its centre was Italy.The great artists of the period,
who
Include Michelangelo,Leonardo and Botticelli, were able to paint
nature and people with great accuracy.
More than any orther style, the works of the Italian
Renaissance can be seen is museums collections throughout the
world.
Impressionism
The name comes from a picture by Monet,Impression
,Sunrise(1872).This painting shows Monet's interest in analysing
tone and colour and ,above all, the way light reflects on the
surface of objects.As a result, the objects do not alwys have a
clear cultine. The first Impressonist exhibition was held in 1874
when Monet, Renoir, Cezanne,Dagas and others announced that the aim
of the movement was to achieve greater naturalism in painting.
Most Impressionist pictures are of landscapes and the
Impressionists liked to use bright colours,even when portraying
shadows; this often gives their work a joyful , optimistic feel.
