Shared characteristics1. faith in the theoretical foundations of art 2. conviction that development and progress were
not only possible but essential to the arts 3. reverence for Ancient art – but not merely to
imitate it4. search to create art forms consistent with the
appearance of the natural world and with their experience of human personality and behavior a. efforts to discover the correct laws of proportion for
architecture and for the representation of the human body and to systematize the rendering of pictorial space
b. rendering of ideal forms rather than literal appearance c. concept of the physical world as the vehicle or
imperfect embodiment of monumental spiritual beauty

Filippo Brunelleschi & Perspective
•In 1415, Brunelleschi painted his picture of the Baptistry on the surface of a small mirror, right on top of its own reflection.
•To demonstrate the fact that his painting was indeed an exact replica that could fool the eye, Brunelleschi drilled a small hole in the mirror and then stood directly in front of the Baptistry, looking through the peephole to see the real building.
•He then held up a second, clean mirror in front of his painted panel. The second mirror blocked the view of the real building, but now reflected his painted version on the original mirror.
•By moving the second mirror in and out of the way, Brunelleschi could check whether his painting was indeed an exact copy of the three-dimensional, octagonal building on the two-dimensional surface of his original mirror.

Beyond Perspective: Basic Notions
• Proportion• Linear Perspective• Chiaroscuro• Contrapposto
These ideas were:1. By the late 15th century, generally accepted2. Not merely the imperfect but necessary preparation for
the perfection of High Renaissance art but a period of great intrinsic merit
3. In retrospect, however, Early Renaissance painting seems to fall short of thoroughly convincing figural representation, and its expression of human emotion is stylized rather than real.
4. Furthermore, the strength of individual features of a work of art is disproportionate to the whole composition.

• Proportion– A scientific measure of ratios– Particularly important in architecture– Based on human proportions

• Chiaroscuro– discovered by Masaccio – referred to the new
technique for modeling forms in painting by which lighter parts seemed to emerge from darker areas, producing the illusion of rounded, sculptural relief on a flat surface.
