High renaissance
There was a difference in this time period:
- in earlier times it was the prince who bestowed his favours on the artist
in this time period:
- instead of the artist granting a favour to a rich prince or a potentate by accepting a commision from him
-
Bramante
- was determined to disregard the western tradition of a thousand years, according to which a church this kind should be an oblong hall with the worshippers looking eastwards towards the main altar, where Mass is read
- Bramante hoped it was said to combine the effect of the largest ancient building
-
The beginning of the sixteenth century the Cinquecento
- is the most famous period of Italian art
This was the time of:
- Leonardo Da Vinci
- Michelangelo
- Raphael and Titan
- Correggio and Giorgione
- Dürer and Holbein in the North
The period came of the great discoveries
- when Italian artists turned to mathemetics to study the laws of perspective and to anatomy to study the build of the human body
