Autun Cathedral

Renaissance which basically means rebirth, began approximately around the 1400’s. Throughout this era society took very high interest in the history of their culture. Greek and Rome were of those whom did it the most. Artists Donatello and Michelangelo used characters from the biblical times, which is a prime example of a what defines a Renaissance artist. As the definition of Renaissance artist states “when scholars and artists began to investigate what they believed to be a revival of…

objects, such as shopping centers, cathedrals, bridges, and other usually takes a lot of time. There are many forces that affect the designed construction and negatively stresses its structure. Before you start implementing your project in real life, you have to design it by following all the engineering rules, then you need to submit your work, get a response and make changes in your design - in other words work on your mistakes. Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence also named as a…

During this course, we have learned many styles and eras of art from 1200 to 1900. In this class, we also act as art historians, so we consider; how old the painting is, what is the style of the work of art, what is the subject, who made it, and who paid for it. These questions help with the understanding of why the art was made and find the era that the art belongs. We have studied many styles and eras, and I believe this painting, Madonna and child, was created in the late medieval period,…

Brunelleschi’s Dome For part 1 I chose to study the building of the dome in Florence, Italy. I chose to study this particular subject because I am studying to become an architect. It was very intriguing to me to learn how significant this discovery was to not only the world of architecture but just the world in general. The church was built in 1296 but they didn’t know how to cover the big hole so they just left it as it was. In 1418 they decided something had to be…

The Cathedral looms over viewers as they walk past and tourists line up expectantly waiting for their turn to enter one of the hottest tourists sites of Paris—Notre Dame de Paris. This Cathedral that was once a place of worship has lost most of the prayerful atmosphere it once would of held and now hosts a gift shop as well as a museum including a relic of the crown of thorns (that of course, people can see for a fee). At first glance the throngs of tourists may deter people from appreciating…

Michelangelo was born March 6, 1475 in Caprese, Italy and departed this life in 1564 in Rome at the age of 88. Michelangelo was not only a painter, but was also a sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. Although Michelangelo had many struggles in his life from rejection and losing his mother at such a young age, he was the first artist who was recognized during his lifetime. Michelangelo left behind multiple pieces of art, including a sculptor he named “David”. Michelangelo lost his mother at…

Position: Thomas Becket did not actively seek out martyrdom and is simply a martyr in every sense of the word. Thomas Becket never sought out power in any point in his life, it was simply given to him. The same is true of his martyrdom. Becket is quoted as saying, “While I ate out of the King’s dish/to become servant of God was never my wish” (Eliot 45). Becket never asked to become archbishop or a member of the clergy. These positions were given to him and ultimately caused his martyrdom by…
