For my Italian class I have to write a paper about comparing Early Renaissance Artwork to Middles Ages Artwork?
15.March, 2010
The paper has to be 5 pages and I am at 4.5, but am stuck and need to squeeze in one more paragraph..Ive written about sculpture, painting and architecture and threw in a little religion. Should I compare Literature? Would that be considered art? thanks guys.
I would consider literature an art!
But what about architecture? During the dark ages Christian hide and used catacombs to bury their dead underneath the city. The oculus is where they put their bodies (from that word derives the word locker).
Christian borrowed the imagery from the Greeks and represented Jesus in the image of Apollo. Christian is the Greek word for messiah. They also borrowed from them the architecture. They used the basically plan for their churches. Basilicas were old roman government buildings.
The only other floor plan they used was the Greek cross which was an old style of the Greek temple. Inside these temples were covered with mosaics. The reason why they were covered with all this mosaic imagery was because people did not read. They were illiterate, so these frescos were an important part of their understanding.
