15th Century Italian South vs North
SOUTH: elegant use of flowing lines, pictorial space, and antique “revival of the nude”, inspirired by the greek and romans, heavily focused on the church, vatican. Representing holy figures in a holy way. This Italian social change and rise in humanism led a shift in power to Rome and Italian artists to consider scientific principles behind individual composition such as proportion, anatomy, and perspective. accurate anatomical proportions, even balance, and linear perspective. Wealth and noble standing. realistic art with shadows and action. “Heroes” “Ideal”. Fresco. Getting it right, not necesarrily details, focus on the figure. Controposto: dynamic, having the weight shifted, more weight on one foot than the other.
NORTH: elegent, minute attention to detail beauty in nature, the natural, common man in artwork. Movement in the daily life. Peasants. naturalism and knowledge of the self and present rather than the past. Embracing the common man. Local Landscape, peasant food and dress. Less focus on the person and more focus on a common life. s-curve, mannequin like. Medium: with oil in the north they were able to do greater detail and take their time, rather than fresco in italy. ultra realism
