TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE VS MODERN ARCHITECTURE We are used to hear the word architecture is always accompanied by the word of art. As all the books of historical and private architecture references said the art triangle is: architecture, sculpture and painting. Architecture was on the top of the list, or the leader of Fine Arts so that's why it named by Romanian as a mother of the art. Architecture is not just a kind of the art because it grew up and formed as a scientific basis of social to…

The Renaissance-interval “rebirth” refers to a time in European history from the 1300s until 1600s, when academics began to take interest in the artwork, literature, architecture and science of ancient Rome and Greece. Humanists (scholars of the Renaissance) placed humans (hence the name) at all elemental centers of their cultures. Beginning in Italy and extended through the rest of Europe, the philosophies of the Renaissance-interval had a noteworthy footprint on many forms of cultures, known…

The word “Diva” is derived from an Italian noun which means goddess. A diva is a female singer who has a great artistic reputation and talent. The attitude and the image of that singer are the most qualities that are needed for the attainment of diva status. Also creating something new and getting the attention. In the Middle East we have several Divas such as Sabah, Fairouz and Oum Kalthoum. Jeanette Georges Feghali the Lebanese singer and actress who is famously known as Sabah is considered…

Giovanni Antonio Canal (Canaletto): Analysis on 2 of Canaletto’s paintings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Canal_and_the_Church_of_the_Salute This painting is called “The Grand Canal at the Church of Salute.” I can see that this painting looks like it has been drawn with different sizes of brushes. The painting looks really realistic because Canaletto must have used a lot of different strokes to get the three dimensional look. The tone and shadow of the buildings are…

Romanesque and Gothic are two styles of architecture that were flourished during the Medieval Period, between the tenth to fifteenth centuries. First, the Romanesque style began and was later spread throughout Western Europe in a short period of time, which later on gave way to the Gothic style of architecture. Although Gothic style was followed by the Romanesque, they have had many similarities but also many differences as well. Romanesque style of architecture was generally considered as…

At the break of the 19th century, nationalism appeared as a strong and influential movement. Nationalism was the devotion and loyalty of one to their country and “the idea that each people had its own genius and specific identity that manifested itself especially in a common language and history, and often led to the desire for an independent state” (McKay, 651). A country that exhibited this was Italy. From the 19th century to the 21st century, Italian nationalism was expressed through music…

The philosophy that took place in the period is one of the humanism or the focus on the human being. One of the master artists of this time is Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) and one of the paintings that best represents the philosophy and art of this period is the Mona Lisa. The philosophy of humanism brought on a time where the focus was on the human…

Masterpieces are not famous because of the talented artists that produced them, but because they are produced with a unique alternative perspective. These paintings have some characteristics that sets them apart from the ordinary, because after a long period of time they continue to resonate with people, such as myself, in modern time. One such example of an extraordinary unique piece of art is the painting, Torment of Saint Anthony painted by Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo. “combining an intense…

I partially agree with this statement. While the Renaissance Era was a reaction to the narrow and practical way of thinking that was common in the medieval period, it did not reject all aspects of the medieval era. Instead, it embraced and expanded the idea of religion, the relationship one had with their God, and admired pieces of literature from ancient eras. Humanism during the Renaissance worked on reviving cultural and classical literature with the goal of spreading humanities (grammar,…
