Many individuals were gifted with artistic skill and creativity. I will talk about how the Mediterranean influenced the Northern Artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Peter Paul Rubens, Simon Vouet and Anthony van Dyck. I will pick one famous piece of each and explain how they used Baroque or Italian features. Albrecht Dürer was born May 21, 1471 in the Franconian city of Nuremberg, one of the artistic and commercial centers in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. He was a painter, draftsman and writer but his greatest artistic impact was in the medium of printmaking.
Rococo vs. Neoclassical Art Periods Over the years, works of art have developed and varied greatly across genres and time periods. From the cave paintings of the Paleolithic era to the abstract expressionism and Pop Art of the 21st century, we have seen styles of art evolve and develop. These styles and periods of art sometimes reflect past artists and styles and other times introduce an era of completely new art genres and styles. Two different art periods that succeeded each other is rococo and neoclassicism. Rococo is a style of art that began in the early to mid-18th century and was closely followed by the neoclassical art movement.
Then, briefly summarize the main points of the essay and closely read, summarize, and reflect on the author’s discussion of Benozzo Gozzoli’s Journey of the Magi (found on page 7). Finally, try to connect the author’s discussion of this work to previous class content. “Images of the East in Renaissance Art” held a lot of detail on the movement of the Renaissance. The Renaissance was perceived as a period of enlightenment where there was huge shift in new ideas and developments. As stated in the reading, “Images of the East in Renaissance Art,” the Renaissance built bridges through concepts that have never been spoken about previously.

Melodrama: The Undying Philosophical Ideal Amongst the popular theatrical forms of the 19th century, melodrama continues to prevail as timeless and influential. Since its inception, melodrama’s impact is noted within theater, film, and American society and history. Melodrama In order for one to understand Melodrama and its influence, a clear definition must be had. One of the earliest attempts to defining Melodrama was written in 1611 by an English Dramatist by the name of John Fletcher, “A tragi-comedy is not so-called in respect of mirth and killing, but in respect it wants deaths, which is enough to make it no tragedy, yet brings some near it, which is enough to make it no comedy, which must be a representation of familiar people, with such kind of trouble as no life be questioned; so that a god is as lawful in this as in a tragedy, and mean people in a comedy.” (Powell, 145) At the time of Fletchers definition, the form of melodrama had not yet been conceived. The composition and definition of melodrama evolved up until it became a popular form in the 19th century.
The Renaissance was a flourishing time of many great changes in Europe. The word "Renaissance" means rebirth in French. New, powerful city states emerged. Great artists, writers and thinkers lived during this time. Between the early 1300s and the late 1500s, the time of Renaissance, Europe transformed from a medieval world to something beginning to resemble the modern world.
Historical Art Periods Compared and Contrasted Teresa L. Lake Western Governors University Student ID # 000248755 January 2, 2013 Historical Art Periods Compared and Contrasted Introduction I am comparing and contrasting two different art periods that have had great influence on our history. Both the Renaissance period and the Baroque periods were early in history and played a big role in portraying people and events that took place long before cameras and video recorders were common household items. These art periods relied on the creative minds of the artist and skillful hands of sculptors to give life to the subjects. The use of light, color and shadow made the pieces more true to life and added the artists’ perspective of the subject to each piece. The artists in these periods also captured expressions on the faces of the subjects which added to the depth in the story that was portrayed by each piece.
However, some writings from Ptolemy discuss what he learned of ancient tunings. The writings describe groups of ratios based off of the perfect fifth referred to as Pythagorean tuning. The practice of system continued into the Middle Ages, as Boethius wrote of this tuning. As thirds and sixths become more prominent features of composition, the history of tuning becomes more interesting. Possibly the most important period to discuss tuning in, however, is directly following the Baroque period.. During the Baroque period, tuning theory flourished and made its mark in music history with its experimentation at its highest in history and thus being an integral part composition and performance.
The music provoked new ideas, “often in dramatic ways, and underlies its manifestations. Some of the qualities most frequently associated with the Baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, vitality, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts.” (“Encyclopedia Britannica,” 2013, para. 1) Baroque music essentially developed by desires, such as a composer’s aspiration to accompany music with the voice. Several notable composers developed a new form of music to not necessarily overshadow the theatre or productions, but to highlight and emphasize the emotional purpose. One of the most notable composers during this period, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) composed some of the greatest masterpieces in the baroque period.
It took History a long time to figure out that something must have happened between the Dark Ages and the Reformation. So historians came up with the word Renaissance. In the mid 1850s, well a long time after it started, history would find the word Renaissance that explained what happened. A long time after the Renaissance in Italy historians finally found out that it was this Renaissance that gave us the Reformation. This letting loose of artistic creativity that for the first time in history the average person controlled with his money and
