IN AEDIBVS ALDI:
THE LEGACY OF ALDUS MANUTIUS AND HIS PRESS
Location: http://www.lib.byu.edu/~aldine/ With the advent of the invention of movable type in the mid-fifteenth century, the development of printing allowed widespread circulation, and the average citizen could more easily obtain books.. This link provides information about Aldus Manutius and his heirs, who were involved in the print revolution. "In a very real sense they, along with a few other select printers, determined what the intellectuals of their time would read; thus, their impact on Renaissance thought was extraordinary." Christy Paiva ALL SOULS COLLEGE, OXFORD Location: http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~jnc/trip/index.html This site was done by John N. Crossley, Professor of Logic and Head of Computer Science at Monash University. It contains six pictures of buildings at All Souls College, each with very brief descriptions. The works include such artists as Wren, Hawksmoor, and others. The pictures are of very high quality and are representative of the architecture of the time. The pictures can also be enlarged to full screen size making it easy to see fine detail. The lack of text is a problem, but I still feel that this site would be helpful to teachers and students alike just for the pictures alone. S. Kampf

    Introduction
    The Renaissance started in Italy and slowly spread throughout Europe. The church was still a major political, social and economic power as well as a primary patron of the arts, although it suffered some dark days during the Reformation. An emerging middle class began to question the old foundations and education became more available as a result of the printing press. Individual achievement, scientific inquiry and new wealth set the stage for the Renaissance to match and even surpass Classical Greece and Rome. Renaissance Artistic innovations include: oil painting, perspective as a science, aerial perspective, non religious art, sfumato, chiaroscuro, clothed nude, tremendous detail, foreshortening, child-like children, and a return to landscapes and portraits.

    Among the many great artists of this period were Paolo Uccello Sandro Botticelli Domenico Ghirlandaio , and Piero della Francesca
    During this period there was a parallel advancement of Gothic Art centered in Germany and the Netherlands, known as the Northern Renaissance

    La Renaissance
    The term Renaissance, adopted from the French equivalent of the Italian word rinascita, meaning literally "rebirth," describes the radical and comprehensive changes that took place in European culture during the 15th and 16th centuries, bringing about the demise of the Middle Ages and embodying for the first time the values of the modern world. The consciousness of cultural rebirth was itself a characteristic of the Renaissance. Italian scholars and critics of this period proclaimed that their age had progressed beyond the barbarism of the past and had found its inspiration, and its closest parallel, in the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. The term Renaissance, describing the period of European history from the early 14th to the late 16th century, is derived from the French word for rebirth, and originally referred to the revival of the values and artistic styles of classical antiquity during that period, especially in Italy. To Giovanni BOCCACCIO in the 14th century, the concept applied to contemporary Italian efforts to imitate the poetic style of the ancient Romans. In 1550 the art historian Giorgio VASARI used the word rinascita (rebirth) to describe the return to the ancient Roman manner of painting by

    The Italian Renaissance (1420-1600)
    In the arts and sciences as well as society and government, Italy was the major catalyst for progress during the Renaissance: the rich period of development that occurred in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages. Because of the number of different fields in which it applied, ``Renaissance'' is a word with many layers of meaning. Accordingly, Renaissance painting cannot signify any one common or clearly definable style. As Gothic painting had been shaped by the feudal societies of the Middle Ages, with its roots in the Romanesque and Byzantine traditions, Renaissance art was born out of a new, rapidly evolving civilization. It marked the point of departure from the medieval to the modern world and, as such, laid the foundations for modern Western values and society. The Renaissance in Italy started gradually, its beginnings being apparent even in Giotto 's work, a century before Masaccio was active. The quest for scientific precision and greater realism culminated in the superb balance of harmony of Leonardo Raphael , and Michelangelo . The influence of Humanism is reflected in the increase of secular subjects. In the final phase of the Renaissance, Mannerism became the dominant style.

    Renaissance Art and Mathematical Perspective
    Part 1: Early Attempts to Depict the Real World in Art
    In the same year that Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems was published in 1632, Rembrandt painted his famous "Anatomical Lecture" graphically representing what physicians had learned from Renaissance artists that nature was accurately representable only by virtue of careful observation, through anatomical dissection revealing the hidden structure underlying the human form. Artists of the Middle Ages, lacking a theory of mathematical perspective, and more interested in depicting religious, spiritual truths rather than the real, physical world did not worry about whether the objects on this table in an early 15th century version of the "Garden of Paradise" would fall off or not. Even as Italians like Giotto began to show a greater sense of real space and form, lacking a theory of perspective made this view of Arezzo look rather peculiar, certainly not a "realistic" view that, soon, with a mathematical theory of perspective, artists could easily achieve. In fact, the first steps towards a new sense of artistic reality were taken early in the 15th century.

    Part II: Vesalius and the Study of the Human Form
    A century later, art and anatomy combined dramatically in the work of Andreas Vesalius, the Flemish physician whose major work "On the Structure of the Human Body", was illustrated by one of Titian's students. The illustrations provide a graphic, detailed record of the musculature and skeletal framework of the human body, and literally seem to pare away layer upon layer of of muscle to reveal the hidden structure underneath. The first artist to perform actual dissections to improve his anatomical knowledge, may well have been Antonio Pollaiuolo. His painting of the "Martyrdom of St. Sebastian," his last work completed in 1475, is a tribute to his virtuousity. The forced unnatural positions of the archers in particular seem all to cleverly planned so that Pollaiuolo could demonstrate his skill at depicting anatomical reality.

    Mythology and Ideology in Italian Renaissance Art
    The origins of the Renaissance should not be identified solely with the revival of interest shown by European civilization in the art and culture of Classical Greece and Rome. More properly, the renewed interest in Classical learning should be considered a reflection of a more significant rebirth that took place at the end of the Medieval period.
    During the Medieval period, there were two focal points to European society: feudalism and the Church; the first to govern the material world, the second to govern the spiritual world. Both feudalism and the Church were highly-structured and rigid systems, intolerant of change, and both clearly supported the proposition that the rights of the individual be subordinate to the rules of society. The thing that eroded the power of these institutions, and was central to the Renaissance, was the rebirth of the individual in society. For the artistic tradition, the most important aspects of the Renaissance were the rise of powerful, independent city states and the development of Franciscan humanism.... It was in southern Europe, particularly in central and northern Italy, that this began. The rise of independent city states such as Florence, Milan, and Venice provided the economic circumstances that could support the new Renaissance artists.
