During this time major artists still continued the same influences as their predecessors during the early times of the Italian Renaissance. The artists thrived, such as: Leonardo Da Vinci who was known for his ‘The Last Supper,’ and ‘Mona Lisa’. Raphael Santi, who was mainly known for his ‘Marriage of the Virgin,’ was also known for his paintings that can be found throughout the Vatican. Michelangelo Buonarroti, who was known for his many sculptures, is also known for the ceiling painting of the Sistine Chapel in the
Quattrocento also known as the Italian Renaissance was a pivotal time for individuals in the art world. Many artist were discovered and are still considered famous today. These pioneer artist displayed a presence of scientific, cultural and economics through christianity putting forth techniques and ideas that are still used currently.The most renowned 15th century frescoes would be The Sistine Chapel. It is a perfect example of linear perspective in Perugino's Christ Delivering the Keys of the Kingdom to Peter. Some of the most important collection of Renaissance painting would be that of Federico da Montefeltro who helped Urbino flourish in art and culture and commissioned perhaps the largest library in Italy with the paintings in Monefelto's court displaying the first theoretical treatise on perspective.
St. Francis has influence the artwork of Giotto, the best-known naturalistic painter of his period. Many times Francis celebrated the action of divine grace in his life, which is the essential and beautiful of true sacrament. He feared that the pursuit of any sort of wealth would divert one from fulfilling the gospels ("Christmas Crib"). In the miracle of the crib at Greccio shows a mass celebrated the remembering of the birth of the Savior. Francis seems to be preaching at this Mass and his words were loving.
I Introduction The birth of Christ, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, the Pieta; religious art has always been an important tradition in the West. This paper examines an altarpiece by Raphael, painted around 1504 (16.30 ab), first describing it briefly then considering it in more detail. II Description The first thing we notice is that the painting is in two pieces: the main subject, Mary and the Child, are in the center of the lower portion, which is a square. Above it is a semicircle with other figures in it. A heavy horizontal wooden bar, which is part of the structure that frames the entire work, divides the two.
It is thought that it may have been written by a group of Jewish Christians, similar to Jesus, who were interested in building a network of Christian communities. It was written in Roman times, before there was a complete New Testament. The book is divided up into main sections, including the Two Ways document (Chapters 1-6, which concerns the topical issue of life and death), liturgical treatise, (Chapters 7-10, which deal with issues such as baptism and Eucharist), teachings on the organisation of the Church in Chapters 11-15, and finally, Chapter 16 deals with eschatological issues. The Didache is important to us, as Christians today, because it shows a way of life that all Jesus-followers should pursue. It is a handbook of worship and Church practise, from which we learn of the views of the early Christian church, and how they interpreted Scripture.

Oregon State Capitol Jessica Ridderbusch Arts/100 11/26/2012 Doris Doyon `Oregon State Capitol After a lot of thought and consideration of the different buildings and attractions here in the Willamette Valley, I have decided to discuss our very own State Capitol. On the night of April 25, 1935, the capitol was destroyed by a fire that speeds quickly from the bottom story up through dome-supporting column shafts. An investigation determined that the fire was accidental and that it originated in the storeroom-service area in the basement of the east entrance wing. Officials wasted no time preparing plans for the new building. The Designed by Francis Keally with the New York firm of Trowbridge & Livingston and dedicated on October 1,
Music was an essential part of civic, religious, and courtly life in the Renaissance. The rich interchange of ideas in Europe, as well as political, economic, and religious events in the period 1400–1600 led to major changes in styles of composing, methods of disseminating music, new musical genres, and the development of musical instruments. The most important music of the early Renaissance was composed for use by the church—polyphonic (made up of several simultaneous melodies) masses and motets in Latin for important churches and court chapels. By the end of the sixteenth century, however, patronage was split among many areas: the Catholic Church, Protestant churches and courts, wealthy amateurs, and music printing—all were sources of income for composers. The early fifteenth century was dominated initially by English and then Northern European composers.
Northern European artists produced art through tapestries, manuscripts, and furniture. This type of art was needed because the wealthy had many homes and they needed decorations and furniture for their homes. Italian and Northern European Renaissance generated Literature related to humanity and individuals. The Italians studied the knowledge of how man determined how to be a respectable individual. Northern European Literature focused more on the Catholic Church and how to reform the Church’s humanity.
Between 1135 and 1137 this church began to be rebuilt from a fire that it suffered through. A man known as Sugar, abbot of Saint-Denis, was the one who rebuilt it. The beginning of Gothic style can be pinpointed to the planning and construction of this one building. Sugar visited several artists throughout Europe when
